About Elizabeth

I love people. I also love serving. I genuinely find great delight in finding out what people love and enjoy and giving it to them. Examples would be finding out their favorite meal, and not only preparing it to their specifications but learning to do it before they even ask, and serving them in way to make them feel like royalty. Helping people comes naturally to me. Whatever the task is, something simple like cleaning a spill, or brushing hair, going shopping all brings me great great joy. Most importantly I know in every sick or disabled person is the person, and I can forget and help them forget, and just be who they are. Just having a conversation and sharing jokes, laughing, and just giving them a space where they can be themselves is the most important thing.

Experience & Education

Claims Associate

Jan 2018 - Present
Geico
I am currently employed as claims service representative. When people have an accident I help. I am there to assist with a tow if needed, to advise on liability and coverage as well as scheduling the repairs for the vehicle. Most importantly I am there to provide empathy, comfort and assurance as most people do not know what to do after an accident.

Sales Associate

Sep 2014 - Jan 2018
AT&T
For three and a half years I worked at AT&T. I worked as a sales associate. This means I was there not only to assist customers with purchasing the best cellphone, tablet or other connected device, but I also helped them find the best plan, and often taught them how to use the device.

Barista

Aug 2007 - Jun 2014
Starbucks
For nearly seven years I worked as a barista. Most importantly this meant building relationships with customers. I learned names and drinks, so when people came in we could just talk with them, adding some cheerful tidbit to help brighten their day, we didn't even have to talk about the order as it was already being made the second they walked in the door. Of course secondly I learned to make delicious beverages, which is truly a craft, and one I took great pride in. I also trained many employees, and took great delight in making sure they felt valued, and were comfortable as happy employees will be happy to serve customers.
