A rewarding experience, travelling across Queensland, Australia to coach thousands of students, from grades 6-12, on researched best practices in the areas of Study Skills and Time Management through 1-2 hr seminars. I, like most other students, had to learn the hard way, through all-nighters, meltdowns and trial and error, how to manage my time and study effectively, and as a result my grades and sanity suffered until I did. Because of this, it meant the world to me to help students achieve these habits early-on so that they can put their best foot forward from the get-go.

Working at an iconic brand like Tiffany & Co. was a dream come true for a fashion lover like me. Luxury jewellery is an industry like none that I've experienced before. Not only were we surrounded by some of the world's most beautiful diamonds, but we had the opportunity to learn their origin stories and of the designers inspirations, as well. We got the chance to really get to know our clients through one-on-one consultations and help them select the perfect Tiffany piece to represent their biggest life moments-birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and engagements!

Working as an independent contractor, I was a one-woman show, working across Ottawa, to sample tastings and sell some of Ottawa's finest local craft beers. I learned what made each beer unique, and how best to communicate that story to customers across the city, I guess I got pretty good at it because I broke the record of most beers sold in one shift!

There's nothing like the rush at a concession stand right before a big game to teach somehow how to work well under pressure! Working at the Leon's Centre, I had the opportunity to take on many different roles; server, bartender, cashier-whatever was needed for that night.

It's impossible to walk away from employment at Starbucks without wholeheartedly appreciating the value of creating a true experience for your customers. They had a saying during training-"They may be your 100th customer today, but you're their only barista.", and this has always stuck with me since. At Starbucks I learned the importance of connecting with customers, really understanding their needs, and addressing that in the service you provide, but also the ambiance of the café itself. These are insights that are applicable in all industries and areas.

Working as a Sales Associate at Aldo Shoes cemented my interest in this industry by allowing me to explore my passion for all-things fashion! This brand encourages staff to express their style to the fullest, show off the product and use that knowledge to improve sales. This role taught me how to work under the pressure of meeting regular targets, surmise the client's needs, employ sales tactics to close sales and of course, look fabulous doing it.

As my first working experience, I began as a Sales Associate before quickly becoming the youngest staff member to be promoted to Keyholder. This was a true lesson in leadership for me, as a 16 year old leading a team of women who had children my age, I learned a lot about team dynamics and responsibility. I excelled in the role by leveraging the team’s strengths and weaknesses and delegating tasks to staff accordingly in order to achieve the store's sales targets.
