As a skilled restaurant server, I thrive in fast-paced, customer-centric environments. With a strong focus on guest relations and personalized service, I ensure a seamless dining experience by efficiently managing multiple tables, handling special requests, and maintaining detailed knowledge of the menu, including dietary restrictions and allergen information. My ability to upsell, manage transactions accurately, and handle high-stress situations with ease contributes to increased customer satisfaction and revenue. In addition to my expertise in food safety, sanitation, and compliance, I excel at working collaboratively with kitchen and front-of-house teams to ensure smooth operations, quick table turnover, and exceptional service. Whether serving large parties or delivering a more intimate dining experience, I’m committed to creating positive guest interactions and building long-lasting customer relationships.

As a senior at the University of South Carolina majoring in Criminology and Criminal Justice with a minor in Law and Society, I am passionate about exploring the intersection of law, social justice, and public policy. My academic journey is complemented by my commitment to civic engagement and professional development, as demonstrated by my forthcoming graduation with Leadership Distinction in Professional and Civic Engagement. With a strong foundation in ethics, discretion in criminal justice, and hands-on experience in behavior analysis, I am eager to contribute meaningfully to criminal justice reform and community-based initiatives.

I participated and helped Professor Jeff Trowbridge with his dissertation on Asset Forfeiture in South Carolina. Throughout the research, I learned great professional skills such as communication and how to navigate the South Carolina Crime database. I also learned and mastered the skills necessary to organize files and match criminal cases to forfeiture cases based on dates and court documents.

In this role, I was able to learn what it takes to run a campaign for state office. My role was to craft and send text messages and emails to possible donors to Representative Moore's campaign, informing them on how they can help fiscally and how they can show their support through attending fundraisers. I learned what verbiage to use to get the most effective turn out and spoke with many important politicians via phone calls discussing the ins and outs of a campaign.
