Through my role as a CVent Certified Attendee Registration Coordinator, I was able to utilize my customer service skills in my daily interactions with attendees as I assisted them in all aspects of their registrations for large off-site meetings. I was also able to rely heavily on my organizational skills as I prioritized my daily tasks as a virtual employee. I was transferred to the Sales & Marketing Team due to changing business needs as a result of COVID-19 and was able to learn about another aspect of this fantastic company. I contributed to sales campaigns behind the scenes as an administrative assistant and also seized opportunities to assist in editing marketing materials.

I have been lucky enough to be employed by the YMCA of the Fox Cities twice over the span of five years. In my first position, which ranged from November of 2013-December of 2014, I began as an Assistant Site Supervisor. I completed course work to earn the Site Supervisor position by February of 2014. I worked in the School Age department and was placed at several elementary schools in the Appleton school district. I was responsible for running an after school program that focused on the YMCA core values of Honesty, Caring, Respect, and Responsibility as well as lesson planning in accordance with Wisconsin Early Childhood Education policy. In December of 2014, I was offered a full time position with a different company that allowed for more financial independence as well as an opportunity to grow my skill set in an administrative setting. My second term of employment was out of the YMCA's Neenah/Menasha location. My role here began as a Site Supervisor in the School Age department and in March of 2017, I was hired in a full time capacity in which my talents were split as a Lead Teacher in the Child Development Center and a Site Supervisor with the School Age department. By building off my experience with the Appleton Y, I was able to act as a key partner in setting up and running two new school sites and I was able to use the skills I gained in my role at VF Corporation by assisting my supervisors with administrative duties. I also quickly learned the procedures and personalities of the childcare setting and was able to act as a substitute teacher when the need arose. I left the full time position in January of 2018 in order to focus on Graduate School and am looking forward to continuing my relationship with the YMCA in a part time capacity.

I began working with VF Corporation as a temp-to-hire candidate with their Eagle Creek brand. In my time as a temporary employee, I was able to learn the company's operating system and I quickly proved myself an asset in the daily operations of the department. I assisted with order entry, order processing, and fielding incoming calls from customers and sales representatives regarding order status, warranty concerns, and returns. In April of 2015, a full time position became available in both the Eagle Creek and The North Face departments. I interviewed for both and received offers from each. I felt that I had gained a lot of knowledge in working with Eagle Creek, but that my skills could be expanded with the larger brand and team of The North Face. I began my full time position in that department in May of 2015. I was given a small sales territory to begin my new position and quickly developed a friendly and effective working relationship with my sales representatives and teammates. I began learning new facets of the company's operating system as they began implementing an upgraded version. I was able to sit in on valuable hours of training and finished with a firm understanding of how to best use this system to accomplish my individual and departmental goals. I was also able to attend trainings at Fox Valley Tech focused on using MS Office applications such as Excel in a more efficient manner. By September of 2015, I was given a larger sales territory with larger accounts to manage. I immediately got to work learning the new personalities and expectations and through a more mature organizational mindset, I was able to streamline my day to meet their needs. I benefited from traveling to meet this new sales team and gained a better scope of the operations of the brand as well as building a deeper professional bond.In May of 2016, my oldest daughter was diagnosed with a malignant kidney tumor and I left my position at VF in July of 2016 in order to care for her.

A stay-at-home-mother at the time, this position served as my transition into the professional realm. My employment with Pillar Technologies began as a personal assistant to the company's CEO. My position was part time and was focused on the management of his household and personal calendar. I was able to meet the needs of this position and was quickly entrusted with meeting new challenges. Over the proceeding months, my responsibilities grew to include co-management of the company's newly finished office space, event and catering liaison, managing and drafting correspondence, as well as the editing and review of business emails, blog entries, and marketing material. With the influx of duties, my hours increased and I was hired in a full time capacity in January of 2013.I spent the next few months growing my skills in computer systems, managing the wide variety of daily tasks, and honing my communication skills through the increased activity in the downtown office space. I also became well versed in arranging travel for the executive team and was asked to consult on editing the company's new website. In June of 2013, a career opportunity presented itself for my husband and our family moved back to Wisconsin.
