I started working when I was 16 years at the local

McDonald'

s. I worked the 2nd shift everyday after school.

Back then I was just a regular crew member. When I

turned 18 I moved back to the Cherokee Indian

Reservation I began working third shift at another

McDonald'

s in Sylva, North Carolina. There I worked

hard to be considered for a crew trainer position. It

wasn't always ready to stay all the employees weren't as

committed as I was. I left a couple months later in

I hoped they would fix the issues and I could return.

I started working at the Pizza Hut to make some extra

cash. I also worked as a career for Shell, USA.

Around June of 2017 we decided to move. We moved to

Mars Hill. In hopes of starting college soon. I got hired

at McDonald's

s in Weaverville, North Carolina. I

worked there for about 6 months before losing my

apartment I then moved to Old Fort and got a job at

the Dollar General . I caught on every quick and worked

really hard to move up in ranks..When I left there in

November of 2018 I was a ASM.I then worked as a housekeep for several years.

Now I work for Premium Retail Services as a sales

repersenative.
