  Drone Operator

  In Summer of 2019 I achieved my FAA part 107 drone license and started working by flying drones over residential and commercial properties. During this time I made my own weekly schedule and worked part-time to gather data by capturing measurements and documenting exterior wind and hail damage. I also actively met with customers at the property by knocking on doors or calling them. This job lasted through Summer 2020. Then I took on a bigger role by working as a full-time lead estimator and drone operator during Summer 2021. I worked within the Acculynx software to estimate costs and create quotes to be used by customers and insurance companies.Once Summer 2022 came around I went even further and took a full-time marketing role to develop a greater online lead generating system and to manage all social platforms and content being produced. Also planned, budgeted, and developed a professional podcast room to be used for interviews and commercials. Show less

  Associate

  I began this role during my senior year of high school. I had an interest for engineering and decided to take this professional development program to see what possible industries I could look into. During my time working at Waukee’s Aspiring Professionals Program (APEX) I took on a project manager role of a team that was assigned to help develop an automated Nerf Blaster for children with disabilities. We worked with the organization known as Train to Inspire to help develop these Nerf Blasters in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I actively made meeting schedules for my team every week, cooperated with professionals, and designed solutions in pursuit to automate the Nerf blaster. Show less

  Cy’s Roost

  Barback

  I took a part-time job opportunity beginning my Sophomore year at Iowa State University to earn some extra money and to gain more experience working with customers in a different industry.I started out working as a floor employee. I cleaned tables and floors, opened and closed the bar, restocked products, and took inventory. I quickly worked my way up to a barback role and continued doing floor tasks while serving beverages, restocking items behind the bar, and multi-tasking under pressure. I also learned how to communicate with customers better and problem solve in a fast-paced environment. Show less

  ABC Supply Co. Inc.

  May 2023 - Jul 2023

  Summer Operations Intern

  I was offered this internship position in the Winter of 2022 after I reached out for an opportunity once I declared my major. I ended up taking the internship and decided to learn the supply-chain side of the roofing industry to gain more experience and to learn as much as I could. During this 10 week internship program, I worked full-time by first job shadowing all the positions of the company. Then I would do everything in those positions from providing customer support by answering phone calls to helping customers at the counter with their order. I would by type, stage, plan, and check orders throughout the delivery process. During this time, I also helped the branch relocate from their location in Des Moines to Altoona during the middle of July 2023 and kept track of inventory and the movement of goods throughout the process.I also worked on developing a project to make new branch associates more knowledgeable once they start during their initial training. I presented and implemented this project with the district and regional management team during late July 2023. Show less
