Half of that is true. I am from a very small town in Indiana originally. I used to be in the 4-H Horse and Pony Club, so believe me when I say it was a one horse town. I moved to Chicago a little over a year ago, sort of on a whim, and it has worked out so far. I currently work part time at the John G. Shedd Aquarium in the Guest Experience Department. And while it has been fun, I would love to have a job that means something to me. I have two brothers, and I did a lot of babysitting when I was younger. One of my colleagues at the Shedd often teases me about what she calls my "revolving daycare group" at work, because I always seem to be surrounded by children asking questions about the whales and dolphins near their habitat. That is my favorite part of my current job, and a part I don't get to do enough. I am a graduate of Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. My GPA was 3. 5, so I would consider myself qualified to help with anyone's homework if necessary. During college, I was a member of an improv comedy group, so I would consider myself friendly, outgoing, and pretty decent fun.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Episcopalian        Work Experience & Education Background   3 years experience, 3 references I would babysit a lot as a teenager, and it often fell to me at family gatherings to entertain the kids.
