      As a front desk student worker for Fluor Tower, I gained a further understanding of the importance of customer service and data entry when dealing with over several hundred residents. I was then employed within the Parkside A & H student customer service center as a student supervisor, working in conjunction with 20+ co-workers and over 430 student residents. I also choose to work an average of 18.75+ hours a week concurrent with my engineering studies.
