My time at boarding school showered me with personal and professional skills that I still use to this day. The environment of boarding school fostered a setting that let me use my natural independence at a young age, allowing me to grow and make my own path. Many of my time management skills I use in my everyday life were created during my school years balancing academic and arts curriculums during 6 day school weeks and 12+ hour days. IAA is well known as an International school, and exposure to an international community at such a young age has inspired and proved useful to my current and future lives. The decision to pursue a career outside of Theatre was difficult, but my passions ultimately lay elsewhere. Despite the career change, I use skills I learned in my arts education every single day. عرض أقل

      الأنشطة والجمعيات:University of Kansas Swim Club, Global Awareness Program, Alternative Breaks My time at the University of Kansas was brief, as after 2 semesters I understood it was not the right educational or geographical fit for me. I am grateful for all of my excellent professors who made my time there worth it. While the university was not the right fit, my major and area of studies were.

      Coppa is a "little cafe with a big heart" owned by a local family, proudly serving hand-made ice cream, coffee and espresso, pastries, and lunch and dinner. During my time at Coppa I prepared quality coffee, espresso, and food items at a fast pace, satisfying customer's wishes, navigated different POS systems, and exhibited excellent customer service skills by sustaining positive relations with regulars and memorizing frequent orders. I earned a wage increase through efficiency and dedication to the company. عرض أقل

    • Budapest Party Hostels

      Feb 2019 - Aug 2019
      Event Coordinator and Supervisor

      My time at Carpe Noctem Hostel was spent organizing and facilitating events for guests from various cultures to experience a foreign city. At said events, I held the responsibility of looking after hundreds of guests and supervising a team of fellow employees. Before and during events, I worked to create social media content and managed information on various media platforms. While in the hostel I was responsible for the organization and administration of the hostel, including but not limited to the use and development of complex POS systems and money processing, email communication, guest statistic record, bed allocation, delegating work to employees, maintaining systems and record in line with legal requirements, leading colleagues in frequent team meetings, and staff reviews. I often acted as a liaison between guests, staff, and upper management, which in return helped me attain the highest number of positive guest reviews out of all staff members from six hostels, reflecting the successful customer service and client interactions made. My salary was increased after a short period of time due to positive reviews from upper management and an increased knowledge of the city to benefit our guests' tourism and experience while staying with us. My colleagues and I worked extremely hard to maintain the high rating of 9.8 on "HostelWorld" by tracking and responding to guest reviews and complaints. This work is reflected through the hostel's many HostelWorld Awards (HOSCARs) such as: Best Hostel in Hungary, Best Hostel Chain Worldwide, Most Popular Hostel in Budapest, 2nd Best Hostel Worldwide. عرض أقل

      In-home childcare provider and English tutor. Responsible for the overseeing and care of three children (ages 5, 7, 10).

    • JAMHI Health & Wellness

      Jan 2021 - Oct 2021
      Billing Administrator

      My responsibilities at JAMHI included, but were not limited to, billing insurance providers in accordance with DSM codes for mental health, and building new organizational systems to combat our company's growing clientele. These responsibilities were performed under strict HIPAA and 42 CRF Part 2 rules to maintain professionalism and security for all patients and their protected health information. My work was often independent, showing strong self management and motivation skills and the ability to make deadlines. This position required proficiency in Excel. I held this full time position while studying full-time online at a university on a separate continent. While this specific position does not fulfill my exact career goals in which I am studying for, it was an absolute joy to be a part of a team working to support and uplift our community while changing the stigma around mental health and asking for help. عرض أقل
