Background

About Benjamin Pado

I have graduated with an Undergraduate degree from Grand Canyon University, majoring in Interpersonal Communications and Human Relations. I am mostly seeking jobs and internships in the Human Resources, Recruitment, and Communication disciplines. I live in Mission Viejo, California, but I am open to relocation depending on the job and location. I am currently employed as HR & Office Administrator for iTrustCapital, a cryptocurrency retirement and fintech platform. My current position teaches me jack-of-all-trades skills such as executive communication, human relations, and experience in written and verbal communication in the workplace. My volunteer experience comes from leadership positions in many activities, including high school marching band, collegiate pep band, collegiate eSports, and summer volunteer positions like Games Lead at Geneva Presbyterian Vacation Bible School. I have played trumpet for 13 years, held leadership positions in band activities for 4 years at both the high school and collegiate level, those being Visual Captain at Trabuco Hills High School and Small Group Leader at GCU. I have also been a part of and run multiple collegiate eSports teams through the GCU eSports club, one of the largest collegiate eSports clubs in the nation, and recently finished in the top 16 teams nationwide for my game. My workplace experience is from my summer job at The Escape Game, Irvine from May 2022 until August 2022, May 2023 through August 2023, and April 2024 through October 2024 where I worked as a Game Guide for the summer, which put me as the primary point of contact for guests throughout their experience, as well as the person controlling and monitoring the room and group behind the scenes. I worked with coworkers for training, covering breaks, and fixing miscellaneous issues within the escape games at the Irvine Spectrum location. I consider my strongest skills to be spoken and written communication, working in a team environment, remaining motivated to complete a project, and being a supportive and engaging employee. I am very familiar working in a team-based environment and working under pressure.
