Background

About Patrick Paez

I am currently pursuing a degree in business administration at Northern Illinois University. I will graduate in spring of 2025. I have had a variety of jobs, ranging from customer service to labor work. My first job I worked as a cashier at Jewel Osco. This gave me customer service experience and experience with Point-of-Sale. I worked there for two years throughout high school. Then I started working at Chipotle as a crew member. While I worked at Chipotle, I was also working the night shift at a local warehouse (Box Warehouse). Both of these jobs taught me discipline and are the reason I work so hard everyday. I worked both of those jobs for a year and then I started at Sam's Club as an overnight stocker. This job made me realize that sometimes work can be tough but it is important to never give up. I worked there for 6 months and then I started at Belle Tire, which is where I presently work. This is my favorite job I have had so far, and I have learned so many skills from working here. I have already received 2 promotions because of my work ethic. I have been there for a year and seven months. This job has taught me that hard work really does pay off. Now I am currently working towards getting a physical trainer certification. I hope to become a physical trainer over this summer.
