My name is Alima Sillah, and I'm a current pre-med undergraduate student at The University of Virginia. I'm planning on a double major in Global Public Health and Biology as these are my two primary areas of focus in my future aspirations.
I have experience in retail and 2 years of experience in hospitality which have allowed me to gain vital experience in work both in the food industry and clothing.
In both of these positions, I was responsible for interacting with customers and promoting either sales or menu items that I was tasked to do. I felt very satisfied as I was able to have a direct impact on the comfort and enjoyability of customers and I'd like to feel this way in any aspect of work that l attempt to do. Though these positions may not seem very valuable when in the context of my current goal I feel that it was the best start for me to experience and gain social skills to conduct myself in a professional and cordial way. I would like to bring my energy and experience that l've had thus far into your organization. I've been told that I'm very charismatic, intuitive, and having a well-managed balance between personal and professional life. I feel that I can interpret my skills and essence in making a successful impact in our community
