Zoe Figert-Kerl

I am a 2022 graduate of Beloit College. 

After graduating from Beloit College with a degree in anthropology, I worked as an Activities
Aide at Alden Estates of Skokie for over two years. In my work at Alden, I enjoyed helping the
residents by answering their questions and finding out more about them, so that we could meet their
needs more effectively. In addition to creating and carrying out activities, I was cross-trained in reception and administrative activities and I see that this is part of what the administrative and reception positions require.  I enjoyed getting to know a wide variety of resident’s family members and vendors and providing them with helpful customer service.
Other administrative tasks that I did at Alden, includes: writing up reports, tallying and
analyzing attendance at activities, preparing the activity calendar each month, handling inquiries,
organizing craft supplies and placing orders to replenish supplies, updating residents’ files, and
making follow up phone calls to former residents to check in on their progress.

I graduated from Beloit College with a BA degree in Anthropology with a focus on art and educational classes.
