Ashland, Va.

• Filed Paperwork• Assisted with paying bills and taking payments• Persuaded vendors to give credits for returned partsIn this position I worked to streamline the return process. When parts were unused by mechanics I took them and researched which vendor the parts belonged to. I labeled a set of shelves with most of the business' vendors and placed pending returns in the correct space. Once a week I returned all the unused parts to their vendors and received credits for them. Prior to my work, parts would often go missing resulting in a loss of profits. My organizational process is still used at this business.

They wanted flyers that were both decorative and demonstrated their commitment to their mission. I developed a flyer design on Canva that could be used to show different matches and how long they have been together. The flyer stayed both on the brand message and in theme with the event. I created 30 variations of this flyer each presenting a different match. We printed out 60 flyers in total and posted them around the bowling alley.

• Photographed events and firefighter training• Maintained social media presence CFEMS dedicated a new training tower during the summer I interned for this organization. They wanted to find a way to increase visibility of the event. I came up with the idea for a T-Day Training Campaign, where I edited videos together that displayed the firefighter recruits in their training during the month of July leading up to the tower dedication. The campaign ended with a Facebook live video of the dedication ceremony. This campaign effectively demonstrated the necessity of the tower while showcasing the firefighters' skills.
