For the past 10 years I have been playing/performing/ and existing with the cello. My instrument has brought me so much opportunity, and brought me to live in Columbia! I started playing "professionally" at the age of 15, and started doing gigs playing in quartets through the Carolinas'. I attended a prestigious music festival in Burlington Vermont for two summers straight, studying chamber and solo cello work. Recently, I have been branching away from the classical world and making music of my own to help send a message that is new and original, I am still occasionally playing classically/attending orchestra and performing solo works for various occasions. I recently started a folk collective in Columbia and use it to get to know my community on a more real and inmate level through music and direct connections

Flying Saucer was probably one of the most intensive serving jobs I had! To get employed there was a 2 week Beer School program. We were set up with a trainer to taste and build a pallet for almost every kind of beer! There was an online portion with "classrooms" where we would use our notes and answer questions about specific beers/food items/ and how to interact with customers. We would have to pass with a 90% or above to move on to the next in person classroom. At the end of the program, we had to participate in a 1-on-1 skype call with corporate and pass with over a 90% to be employed. I got a 99% before starting serving, and still have my TABC. I was well prepared and knowledgeable about what we were selling, enough to give recommendations and have new techniques pouring and mixing/ beer and drinks. The job itself was fast paced, sometimes being responsible for 3 or 4, 10+ persons at a table. Also being responsible for opening and closing the restaurants, writing out the fire sales, and daily specials on EVERY table.
