Understanding important global wine regions and the characteristics of all major grapes/wines is required for this position. I worked alongside the owner/certified sommelier while taking part in all necessary day-to-day tasks at the wine shop, including customer consulting, development of promotional materials and emails, inventory management, and tasting events.

As an English Assistant I collaborated with my colleagues to develop a language program that prioritized oral expression and conversation. Shifting the focus from rude memorization techniques, I designed a rewards-based system to motivate the students in their achievement and demonstrate the practical uses of communicating in another language.

In 2009 I was an Editorial Intern at Louisville Magazine. As such, I worked closely with the small staff to contribute to the magazine's production while learning the ins-and-outs of the business. I coordinated and completed journalistic interviews and wrote various articles, including restaurant reviews and professional profiles. I championed the case for social-media, creating and managing the magazine's Facebook page, and subsequently assisting the staff as they integrated the tool into daily business. Since then, I have contributed to Louisville Magazine as a freelance writer.
