About

I am here to help us gain, grow, educate, and expand upon our ideas.

I like to think of myself as a jack of all trades.
I graduated in May of 2018 with a bachelor's in both political science and international studies concentrating in war and peace. I also minored in history and have certificates in both European and environmental studies.
When I entered the workforce at 17 I started off in retail and quickly moved up to the customer service representative of our store.
A year later I picked up a second job as a caterer at a local BBQ chain. A month later I was a hospitality associate working in the store. Ten months later I was promoted to manager. When I returned for the summer I was promoted to Assistant as well as Catering Manager. I was responsible for scheduling, food and catering orders, customer service, the inter-workings the store, food quality, and the hiring and firing process.
Throughout college I maintained the same job for four years working for the Friends of India Endowment as a student assistant. I was in charge of overseeing the annual Indo-American Friendship Day Dinner- a donation based fundraising event with over 500 guests. I was partially responsible for advertising, marketing, acquiring and pursuing new sponsorships, keeping track of payments and ensuring all deposits went to their designated accounts, and arranging performances and speakers. I was responsible for keeping the group organized, on task, and communicating. My greatest challenge was to ensure staff and faculty from several departments were working on a time-efficient, cohesive schedule. I wrote emails, made Google docs and Box accounts to share ideas and make editing and oversight easier. Eventually I put all of the Endowment's files on Google to make them easily accessible and attainable.
For the last year and a half I have been a server at Jackie O's Public House and Brewery. I have gained a new knowledge and appreciation for the beauty of beer, local food, sustainability, community, and the importance of supporting local businesses.

Work Terms

I am open to negotiating how we will communicate, the payment, and my schedule when hired for a job. I am a very accommodating person.
My preferred means of communication is email. I have a gmail account and find Google to be a very helpful platform for sharing and organizing information. I am also open to alternatives. I primarily use Skype for face to face phone calls and can also be reached via phone or text.
I am not familiar enough with the website to discuss the payment process and terms. I will elaborate on my preferences later.
My schedule is probably very different from most. I am a night owl and tend to sleep in later in the mornings because of my job. However, as I said, I am very accommodating and will work around others' schedules.
