     Hi.  My name is Lara and this is my resume.  I do carpentry, painting, and landscaping work by trade, but I’ve also maintained sales and service jobs to secure my financial well-being all year long.  This early summer I re-did a family’s outdoor porch which had gotten some rot and needed some TLC in terms of its screens and stain.  That was in Candler, NC and the reference is Kellie P.    828-582-9510.

     Over the winter and spring I worked two jobs.

Days Inn, 2551 Smokey Park Hwy, Candler, NC.  Managers, Jim and Mandy.  1-866-665-2031

     I was the Breakfast Person.  I served breakfast to hotel guests.  And I was the Supper Cook, server, and kitchen clean up.  We served 8-15 guests daily.  I was able to work with Manager Jim to plan meals and keep the kitchen stocked.

Mapco, 2515 Smokey Park Hwy, Candler, NC 28715.  Manager, Misty.  828-365-6122

     At Mapco I was a cashier, stocking and cleaning person.  That location is right near I-40 so we stayed really busy as a convenience store in addition to selling gasoline.  Mapco also sells a lot of Lottery, beverages, and has gaming machines and pizza, so the workers are doing customer service in addition to tending place.

     In the fall of 2024 I did a lot of camping and brushed up on my Wilderness skills.

     In the summer of 2024 I was in Knoxville, TN and worked as a Cook and Server at Sonic, 5003 Millertown Pike, TN 37917.  Managers, Jennifer and Adrian.  865-525-9551   Very cool place to work!  Fresh fast food, upbeat pace, and a variety of stocking and cleaning tasks.

     During that spring I’d worked for Shoney’s, 4032 N Broadway, Knoxville, TN 37917. Manager, Trish   965-687-5432.  As a server I was very good with customers and as staff I was very helpful with keeping the restaurant cleaned and the dining room stocked.

     I had been living in Apex, NC (near Raleigh) with my Mom and Dad for quite a while before moving to WNC/East TN.  There I was a dishwasher at Eggs Up Grill, 1421 Kelly Road, Suite 112 , Apex, NC 27502.  Manager, Krystal.  919-267-4445.  Awesome food!

     In Apex I also worked at Food Lion, 1777 W Williams St, Apex, NC 27523.  Managers, Tony and Gladys.  919-362-1986.  I was able to try many roles at the grocery store—Receiver, Front End Closer, Register, Center Store Stocking.

     During the time that my mom was ill and passing I worked at KFC, 1403 W Williams St, Apex, NC 27523.  Manager, Andrew.  919-303-7997.  An awesome crew to work with during a difficult time for me.

     From March 2021-February 2022 I was an Assistant Manager of a Thrift Store raising money for Alzheimer’s Awareness.  I worked with Manager, Crystal.  Guardian Angel Thrift Store, 710 Laura Duncan Road, Apex, NC 27502.  919-303-8180.

     And from 2018-2021 I worked at Lowes Home Improvement, 1101 Beaver Creek Commons Dr., Apex, NC 27502.  Store Manager, Brian Brannock.  919-303-4200.  There I worked to improve our Pick Up In Store services and in the Millwork Department selling product and installation services.  This I found similar to bidding carpentry jobs.  I very much enjoy working with clients and getting jobs done well.
