Born in October of 1997 in Edmonton Alberta, I have always had a drive for understanding how things work and why. I do not know everything, but I do have a passion for developing new skills to create new things and pushing those skills to their limits.
I am Ben Reeves
I am a fast learner, a dedicated and focused worker, and I always strive to do the best job I can with whatever I am doing: whether it’s tackling a new program, building new connection, helping out a friend, or designing a graphic, I never fail to take pride in a job well done.
I have experience in most areas of retail from sorting and support from the back of the store, to assisting customers directly at the front, and I am always looking for opportunities to broaden my horizons into wherever I am needed.
I am Dedicated
Work Experience:
Paper Route (2012-2015)
For four years I delivered issues of the weekly Examiner paper along a route covering 6 blocks containing no less than 169 addresses every week through, rain, sleet, or shine.
Home Depot (2015-present)
Beginning as a Lot Attendant during my high school years, taking custodianship of the parking lot. Clearing away any hazards to safety such as uncorralled carts, clearing empty pallets and sharp debris, as well as helping customers with loading heavy products into their vehicles and unloading their returns.
I also adopted the responsibilities of a Cashier: Assisting customers with their purchases at both regular and self checkout tills.
I have experience in the training of multiple new associated to both positions and continue to do so, as well as helping out in the Receiving Department when things are slow, ensuring product goes from the loading dock to its designated home on the shelf.
More recently I have been receiving training for a Sales Position in the Flooring department. Helping customers to plan out large scale renovations and repairs for their homes.
Education:
Victoria School of the Arts
From 2013 to 2016 I pursued education in the graphic arts, film, and photography, in addition to the standard topics, which I excelled enough at to earn my place on the Honor Role for all three years of my education there.
University of Alberta
From the fall of 2017 I studied to obtain a Bachelors of Arts in Art and Design with an English Minor which I obtained in the spring of 2022.
The diversity of my interests did not dull there, as while I pursued my major I also investigated my interests: taking courses on the history of architecture, as well as techniques in film, writing, psychology, criminology, and the study of classical Latin.
