I am currently in my third year of studying History at Illinois State University. While here I am also a member of both History Club and the university's ROTC program.In the ROTC Program, I am learning several methods on how to become an effective, well-rounded leader.I spent a combined total of about 12 years in the Cub Scouts (2009-13) and Boy Scouts (2013-21). Over these years, I participated in a variety of volunteer projects. In the later years of my time in Boy Scouts I held several leadership roles within my troop.I was inducted into the Brotherhood of the Order of the Arrow in July 2017. I achieved the rank of Eagle in August 2021.My job history includes working a summer job as an Admissions and Concessions worker at my local pool. Here, my responsibilities were pretty simple: sell day and season passes to patrons as then enter and selling basic concessions items such as soda, candy, ice cream treats, hot dogs etc. I also spent about two years (2020-22) working as a cashier at Hy-Vee - a regional grocery store chain in the Midwest. My duties/responsibilities here were to assists customers in purchasing their items as they go through the checkout lanes, as well as helping to supervise and assist customers at the self-checkout lanes.Both jobs involved consistent face-to-face interactions with customers and processing monetary and EBT transactions.Finally, after returning from a 16-day study abroad trip in June, I attained the EF/Nobel Prize Museum Global Citizen Certificate. in August 2023.
