Summary

Hi, I'm Jessy, 16 years old, hardworking and ready for anything that comes my way. I have almost 3 years of experience as a kitchen hand. I'm very organized and enjoy planning, especially while listening to music. Currently, I can't work due to a hand injury, but I'm eager to work in roles that are not physically demanding. Since I am homeschooled, I have flexible hours. While I don't have a degree, I am good at problem-solving and eager to learn. I'm willing to give my best effort at any task, regardless of my experience level.

  • "When I was 9, my mother made the decision to pack up all our belongings and set off into the world to teach me and my brother that there's more to life than just textbooks and Ph.D.'s. Those 4 years were incredibly enriching, and I am grateful for the experiences. Instead of solely pursuing a certificate, I gained a wealth of practical knowledge and skills. I developed a sharp mind, finely-tuned reflexes, and instincts that have proven invaluable. Most importantly, I learned the importance of foresight and honed the ability to navigate challenging situations. Being in Italy at 1 am with 10% battery on my phone, alongside a single mom and my concerned big brother, taught me the importance of quick thinking."
