At M.H Frank LTD, we are required to be not only salesmen but also friends of those who come in. Helping them with their shopping and Clemson experience. We are required to know our inventory and how to help not only the customer but also co-workers with everyday in-store needs. At our haberdashery, I take great pride in providing personalized care to every customer who walks through the door. It’s not just about selling an item; it’s about ensuring that each person feels valued and heard. I listen closely to their needs and offer thoughtful guidance to make sure they leave satisfied, whether they're looking for something specific or need help finding the right piece. We take pride in our store, maintaining high standards in both our service and the quality of what we offer. For me, it’s about creating an experience where customers feel confident and appreciated every time they visit.

I spent 4 months over the summer working with Landscape Workshop. Working on multiple different types of properties and multiple different teams of people. This only adds to my characteristics showing me how important time management and teamwork are in everyday life.

Over the summer, I had the opportunity to work as a sales intern at the Wilson White State Farm agency, where I gained invaluable insight into the insurance industry. I learned about customer relationships, sales strategies, and the intricacies of insurance products, all of which helped me grow both professionally and personally. This experience gave me a solid foundation in understanding the industry and strengthened my communication and problem-solving skills, which have been essential in shaping my approach in the professional world. In addition to gaining industry knowledge, my time at the Wilson White State Farm agency taught me the importance of building strong work-based relationships. I saw firsthand how essential connections are—not just with clients, but also with colleagues and mentors. These relationships helped me understand the value of effective communication, trust, and collaboration in achieving success. Networking within the agency opened my eyes to the broader professional world and highlighted how fostering meaningful connections can create growth opportunities. This experience has reinforced how vital relationship-building is in both personal career development and long-term professional success.

For two years, I worked as a caddie and golf cart manager, an experience that played a key role in my development as a young worker. This role taught me the importance of responsibility, time management, and customer service, as I had to ensure that everything ran smoothly for golfers throughout the day. From maintaining the carts to assisting players on the course, I learned how to anticipate needs, solve problems on the spot, and communicate effectively. This experience also built my work ethic, teaching me the value of consistency, teamwork, and dedication in a fast-paced, service-oriented environment.
