Right out of high school I started working for Polstar Records, which had exclusive catalog marketing & distribution rights in Poland for some great record labels, including Mute, V2, Beggars Banquet, and more. I got to be a part of album releases like Depeche Mode "Exciter," and Moby's "Play."

While living in Poland I worked every summer with the Consul General's Office at the United States Embassy in Warsaw, Poland. My roles and responsibilities were diverse as I split duties among the offices for American Citizens Services, Immigrant Visas, and Non-Immigrant Visas. They included shredding passports and sensitive documents, updating records, data entry, and various support services. This was also my first paid job working with relational database design. One of my first projects was designing a digital version of the visa application forms to facilitate input into Access. A particular highlight was assisting security with screening access to George W. Bush's foreign policy speech at the University of Warsaw's library.
