Worked with the game creators of "Ace in Space" to create a perfect video game trailer for their work. Used heavy programs like Sony Vegas and After Effects to animate artwork and backgrounds for the game. Aided in advertising by spreading word for the creators and making trailers to match the quality of their work, including working in person at conventions at their booths. Will be voice acting for their upcoming projects in the near future.

My position was across store duties, from managing the cash, to learning about our new stock, and keeping the store tidy at all times. I handled large orders of balloons for corporate events and charity celebrations. My favorite part of the job was participating in store events where we were allowed to dress in costumes and entertain our guests while also selling our products. During my time I worked in the highest stress time at Party City (Halloween), and learned to handle high pressure situations with a level head. I never lost my cool once during this entire experience and was especially praised on this.

Keyholder for the art studios at North Island College during the evening hours. Helped students find what they needed and held responsibility over two separate buildings. Worked with art professors on keeping the space clean and ready to use for the next morning. Used the free time to finish my assignments using the 5hrs per evening to my advantage.

During my time at Sea Breeze, I managed the entire store alone for over 30hrs a week, and more depending on what my boss needed of me. We reorganized the store from scratch multiple times, and expanded the Boutique from one to two locations. This is where my eye for detail was especially helpful. I sold many items to an older demographic, and had a fantastic time guiding people and aiding them to find outfits for weddings, funerals, summer parties, travelling, and everyday wear. The amount of diversity in fashion never intimidated me. Despite the overwhelming stock, I held my ground and memorized where every item's home was. I made many connections for the boutique and helped run events that included offering coffee and snacks, and even an evening of shopping with platters of food offered to the ladies who participated. I helped advertise the store by dressing mannequins every day in different fashions, and took many photos for our Facebook page. I even made signs for the shop with my 10yrs of artistic experience.

Ran the gallery and aided guests through the building. Entrusted to reorganize the lower level of the gallery and turn it into a workshop space for public events. Ran multiple public events, and used my bilingual talents to guide CSF tours through the gallery. Hosted events of over 500 guests by buying supplies, making food, and serving the attendees for late night events once a month. Kept contact with local businesses by making a list of all their numbers, addresses and previous relations with the Gallery. Got used to heavy lifting and using ladders to repaint the gallery every time an exhibit swapped out. Hosted an across town Christmas event for the gallery with over 200 vendors and thousands of guests coming through the space. Worked cash at the gift shop and learned how to manage stock.
