Experience
April 29,2018-Current Employer
Texas Roadhouse -Server/Hostess/Togo Host
I started out hosting and seating physically as well as on a POS system. Once I moved over to togo I had packaged food, took orders, and checked people out. I then became a server and performed all these same tasks to a higher extent. All these positions had me greet guests, inform them on issues regarding any of their questions, deal with any issues they experienced and just make sure they enjoyed their time.

June 2015, 2016, 2017
New School of Dance & Arts -Seasonal Dance Instructor
This was the dance school I had danced in, and it was curated for girls and women of color. During the summers, I would help choreograph and aid in instruction/playtime/lunchtime as well as dance education. Typically we would have a concert to serenade the end of summer where I would help facilitate as well as dance. During the year I would help teach classes as well.

August 2017 -November 2017
Columbia Associations - Student Aide
I worked with kids age k-4th grade mainly distributing snacks, helping fire drills, and working the art table. I was able to interact and play with the aftercare children as well as monitor them before their parents came to pick them up.

November 2017- Present
MPSAA Track & Field - Bullpen Volunteer
After a leg injury, I managed multiple sports which led me to the bullpen track season. With the help of the most amazing mentors and people, I helped organize racers before the meet/before a race, was the link of communication between the different events/workers, helped check in/line up racers and made sure they were race ready. I also have run the bullpen myself in Highschool and have helped facilitate some great meets.

November 2019-January 2020
Lush - Seasonal Sales Associate
I was able to be involved in one of the most inclusive stores, I can’t speak for the overall company or business, but I know the Columbia store was one of the best. I gave consultations, demos, practiced selling/business skills, restocked, and helped clean during the christmas season. I also was able to engage in amazing progressive conversations in regards to some of the charities/foundations lush supports and the overall message.
