    • Joyful Noise Music Studio

      Aug 2009 - Dec 2019
      Music Instructor

      Joyful Noise has been a part of my life since I was 19, when I started as a private percussion instructor. I worked part-time while attending Texas Tech and moved into full-time as I graduated. Once full-time, I also took on roles as a general music teacher and the office manager, working with toddlers up to adults. I returned to part-time status around mid-2015 to pursue other ventures, and finished my time with them as a private instructor.

    • Pittman's Academy of Martial Arts: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

      Aug 2015 - Aug 2018
      Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructor

      My journey in BJJ began as a student in November of 2011. During the summer of 2015 I began and finished an instructor certification program, held by my Master Instructor Klay Pittman, and became a part-time instructor that fall. I assisted on the mat and engaged in business roles, such as face to face recruiting, sales calls, and enrollment meetings. Eventually I went full-time and around January of 2017 I became the Chief Instructor for the school, leading classes of my own and increasing my interaction in business responsibilities. Show less

      I started Blue Layer as a frontline tech, answering phone calls and gathering details for tickets. I was quickly moved into a level 1 position where I began troubleshooting computer software and networking issues, as well as handling remote computer setups/installs.
