Tyrell Yazzie

in the Cafeteria, my duties included preparing entire meals, prepping the next days meals, and creating a great dining experience for students. After I would be responsible for leading the Cafeteria crew in clean up and stocking for the next day or meal. I was trained in all practices in food handling including handling deliveries, checking all temperatures of cold and warm foods, enforcing the rules among the crew and ensuring a safe dining experience for all of our guests.

I started as a Sales Photographer at OdySea Aquarium where my tasks included taking high resolution photos for the guests, uploading those photos to a graphic program then editing them to the scrapbook then sell the book to the family. I also had experience with a POS system and handling cash. Our pay fluctuated based on sales of books so we had to make sure we made the experience special for the family. From there I was offered a new job at the neighboring complex Butterfly Wonderland as an Education Specialist where my tasks included, guiding large classes of Students through the Conservatory while teaching them about the life cycles of the plants, animals and the environment as well as helping Teachers manage the children to keep them interested and safe in the environment. Then I was promoted to Curatorial Assistant where i got to directly work with the plants, butterflies, moths, and a very select few of our Animal Ambassadors. All while captivating the imaginations and attention of children and adults alike! Crew Lead
