Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States

Joined a newly formed team of three bankers tasked handling a variety of complex customer and bank-controlled accounts, creating procedures and writing policy for how the team is to operate in the future. After measurable success, The Specialty Accounts Team has grown considerably and is now comprised of twenty-six bankers across five bank divisions. As one of the teams founding members, I am also responsible for training new bankers that join our team. Currently I am the point person at the bank for all public fund investments, captive reinsurance, and health savings accounts and creating the procedures for security-based lending accounts, which SAT has recently taken on. In addition to my role on the Specialty Accounts Team, I also assist with daily branch operations during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Madrid, Spain

Madrid, Spain

Employed as a cultural advisor, event planner, and marketing team leader for a marketing company in Madrid, Spain with a focus on nightlife and entertainment. Specializing in event planning for nightclubs in the Spanish Capitol, I facilitated the scheduling of musicians, photographers, and general venue operators as well as spearheading marketing campaigns through social and print media.

Laguna Beach, California

I worked as a barista in a coffee shop in Laguna Beach. My responsibilities included making coffee, sandwiches, and pastries, maintaining a clean and organized workplace, organizing stock, as well as providing creative ideas to make the shop run more efficiently. As a small local business, we maintained close relationships with our clients, as many were regulars who came in daily; however, being situated in Laguna Beach, I was often required to act as a tourist information center for wayward travelers.

Kenya

I worked with a small group of volunteers as well as local residents of the city of Kisii in Kenya to build homes for families in severe poverty. My responsibilities began months in advance of the trip as i was required to fundraise for building tools and materials, as well as my food, flight, and lodging. The days were long and hot as my team and I worked on building the homes while the afternoons were full of cross-cultural interactions that would benefit the community as well as myself.
