  COSI - Center of Science and Industry

  Oct 2007 - Aug 2008

  Customer service & guest relations I was afforded the oppurtunity to study under Susan Peters the director of travel and tourism. I worked closly to increase sales by creating a packet deals for student trips. Also I got to network with Experience Columbus and designed a postcard they mailed out to their members. At COSI I helped to put out several print pieces and developed the language. This was an amazing opportunity.
