  • Aug 2016 - Present

  I am working on turning my hobby into a business. My partner and I participate in a variety of crafts. I take deadfall sticks and craft them into staves with symbolic and spiritual significance. We paint abstract and modern pieces on canvas and wood. The idea hasn't gotten far off the ground, but this is mostly for fun, still, anyway. I am working on turning my hobby into a business.

I was responsible for changing tags to reflect new sales, checking to ensure that all signs met company standards, and communicating any discrepancies I could not fix on site to the corporate office. My time at Family Fare taught me to be more self driven and helped me to gain greater focus when dealing with sprawling tasks. In March of 2017, I left Family Fare due to repeated professional disputes with my immediate supervisor. I wanted to do the job in accordance with the company handbook. She wanted me to follow orders verbatim, even when they went against the handbook. This resulted in a hostile work environment. Show less
