Since the start of my years in high school, I've been interested in fashion, apparel, and sales. For this reason, I started my own page on a social shopping platform known as Depop. In the summer of every school year, I would go to second-hand stores. In these stores, I would find clothing that's worth a lot of money or more than the price tag. Next, I would take pictures and post them on the social shopping app. I started doing this with every item I found and flipping it for a large percentage of profit. I've been truly dedicated to this craft throughout the years of my being in school. Since high school, my page known as "SkeletonVntg" on the app has generated about $40,000 in gross revenue. At the peak of my engagement on the app, I would sell 50+ items a week. In order to do this, I have developed a marketing strategy to receive more engagement amongst consumers. This experience has helped me build skills such as multitasking, customer service and time management.

During my time at the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, I worked as an intern for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Festival. Throughout my three-month journey, I worked closely with the event managers at the Chamber, assisting them in any way possible. As an intern, my responsibilities were to make special pick-ups and deliveries for the festival with strict instructions. This responsibility assisted me with communication and time management, while I met with over 200 business owners, volunteers, and customers associated with the Chamber of Commerce. I was also put to the test, using my social media skills to create and deliver posts for the Pro Football Hall of Fame fashion show, Enshrinement Festival, Enshrinees' Roundtable, Balloon festival, and many other events. The networking and marketing knowledge I learned during my experience provided me with another skill I had not yet seen eye to eye, confidence. Not only did this internship provide me with knowledge, but it also provided me with life skills to take with me wherever I go next.
