Fredericksburg Christian High School

Returned to coach the Junior Varsity and Varsity baseball teams, working with students aged 12-18 to improve their baseball skills and teambuilding skills

Worked in call-screening, audio editing and uploading, and producing researched "one-sheeters"

I interned with a full-service consulting and lobbying group based in Phoenix, AZ. From the job posting, my job was "facilitating research projects for the Public Affairs Associate and Director of Government Relations, answering telephones and performing various administrative tasks, tracking legislation and policy initiatives, coordinating projects and/or assignments between the Phoenix and DC offices, communicating with clients and governmental officials, and making deliveries for Partners and/or clients."

Working in a customer-service-oriented field, I was able to meet and greet people and work with them to pursue their needs. I presented myself as a liaison between corporate and the public, working with management to create and maintain advertisement strategies for our specific store. When the office had seen the quality of my work, what began as a summer-only job was extended indefinitely, ending only when I needed to leave the area to pursue higher education.
