Hi Vito!

Where are you from?  

I was born and raised in San Diego, and I’ve stayed here my entire life.   I went to Granite Hills High School, and later went to Grossmont and Cuyamaca College.  After getting my Associates Degree in Business Administration, I transferred to SDSU.  Currently I am 3 classes away from graduating SDSU with a Bachelors in Business Management, and I am expected to graduate in May of 2020.

 

What do you do in your spare time?

In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and trying new restaurants. I also enjoy playing table tennis.  I have a membership with the San Diego Table Tennis Association, and I regularly play at their location near Balboa Park.  Lastly, I train regularly in order to stay fit enough for a police academy, as being a police officer is my dream job.

 

How long have you worked at the lakes?

I was hired in October of 2019, so I’ve been working here for about 2 months.

What do you like about working here?

Firstly, I love the staff.  The staff has treated me very well, and they did a great job training me. Secondly, I love interacting with the customers.  Interacting with the people is a great way to build customer service skills, and I strive to become better each day at customer service. Lastly, I love the lake itself.  To be able to work at a park that is filled with lakes, ducks, and greenery is such a pleasure.  It’s easy to feel tranquil here.

What is a fun fact about you?

I have been to 5 different countries; Mexico, Italy, Greece, Croatia, and Turkey.

Anything else you think would be great to know about you?

My biggest goal in life is to get into a police academy, and i’m hoping by the end of 2020 I will achieve this.
Soccer is one of my biggest passions.  I love watching soccer from the big leagues in Europe.
Some of my favorite teams across Europe are: Inter Milan, Paris Saint Germain, and Chelsea FC.
I also love trying new foods from different cultures. I believe that trying foods from different cultures is a great way to learn about new cultures.
