I have been in the work industry since I turned 16, and dedicated most of my time to my work while also maintaining my school work and extra curricular activities. During this time I worked at Schneider's Sweet Shop in Bellevue Kentucky between the years 2019 to 2021. Here I was able to find my voice in leadership among my coworkers and have the ability to face new responsibilities of closing and opening the store. I was able to explore how adaptable I was in different circumstances I faced within customer service and food service. After this fulfilling experience, I had to leave in order to advance in higher education at SCAD. When I returned from my studies for winter break I seasonally worked at LOGO's Bookstore to get an understanding of retail and pairing that with hospitality in order to curate an environment for the customer. Later I was employed at Old Navy where I climbed the ranks to become a shift lead for over a year, taking on multiple leadership positions and roles. After I felt as though I could not continue growing I left and took a serving job at Flying Monk where I am currently employed I started off as a hostess and grew to a food runner to understand the food I would soon be serving as I became a part time server.
