Maliyah Gerald

I am a daughter, student, sister, friend, and mentor. I love Jesus, who is the head of my life. I love attending church. I am a beginning small business owner with lots of ideas in many areas. I am dedicated, faithful, trustworthy, patient, humble, integral, wise, caring, loving, funny, consistent, and very thankful. 

I love working in the customer service field. I have always been a helping hand everywhere I have gone. If I see someone struggling or could use an extra set of hands, I'm the one for the task. I take the initiative the majority of the time while working with a team, giving advice big or small, teaching, and sharing my experiences with those I meet, always sharing the love of the Lord at all times.

Jack in the box - team member 

A Jack in the Box team member is a fast-paced responsibility. A team member is to provide excellent customer service and ensuring that the restaurant runs smoothly. I was responsible for taking orders, preparing food, cleaning the restaurant, cleaning workstations, and tending to a customer’s every need.

Papaya Clothing - supervisor 

A Papaya Clothing Supervisor is responsible for managing day-to-day store operations. This meant making sure the store was opened/closed on time, the safe and cash flow was accounted for. I had to send off cash flow logs by faxing and sending off emails. This includes ensuring that the store is clean, organized, and well-stocked. As a supervisor, I had to Lead and motivate the team members. It was my responsibility to assist customers, handle complaints, exchanges, and address any issues that would arise. Whilst monitoring our inventory levels, pricing/tag clothes, track sales, and reorder merchandise as needed.

Mentoring Alliance Summer Camps

Being a camp counselor working for a this Christian organization you have to be flexible. Every week you are assigned a different group if not, then you stay with the group that you were with the previous week. You have to multitask, prioritize, time manage, work in determination, stay consistent, staying on your toes, make many sacrifices. This organization is not only about you, and I had to make sure that I was available to help my coworkers, anyway that they needed it. I watched over four - ten year olds, ensuring safety, ensuring mental and physical health was always accounted for. Making sure they have fun at all times making sure I teach them the curriculum, helping in the classroom with fundamentals and manners.

I have my high school diploma from Cedar Hill High School. I am currently attending Dallas Community College.
