As a barista, I work to produce quality beverages in an efficient time. I ensure cleanliness and orderliness within my workspace and work with my team to maintain a wonderful atmosphere in our store. We promote inclusivity in everything and keep open minds, adding to our community one cup of coffee at a time. While my attention to detail is mainly utilized for keeping a balanced drawer, I also apply myself to customer connections.

As a bookseller, I maintained multiple organization systems, often across platforms. I managed and documented shipments and pickups on the company server, while also changing and tracking new/used ISBNs for in-store and cross-store use. I create backorders as needed and organized buy-backs. The university spirit wear was hosted and shipped on a separate site altogether, so in total, we coordinated information from four different databases. Furthermore, I helped maintain the organization of the physical books, which were separated by stages of "store owned", "Barnes and Noble College storage", "Student owned", and "student loaned". All of this was possible with the help and healthy communication from every team member and all third parties.

The OWL is the official literary magazine of Ohio Wesleyan University.

I managed final edit deadlines, author permissions, and copyediting and proofreading coordination. Using the software LucidPress, I oversaw all typesetting and page layout efforts for both print and digital copy. I managed the Instagram, email accounts, and website postings.

As a peer tutor, I worked with students to organize their thoughts, compose theses, and produce projects and essays of sound understanding. My abilities in creative writing assisted me in finding the perfect wording for persuasive and analytical writing, in fields I was both knowledgeable and amateur in. My passion for collaborative work gave me an easy repport with my fellow students and allowed for more careful introspection on the meanings they were trying to convey. I was especially commended for my work with students where English was their second language.
