Key Professional experiences
27North
At this company, I have been trusted to handle thousands of dollars of contracts, calm tensions with six-figure suppliers, and create training content to increase production efficiency. Starting as an intern, I learned the ropes of every side of this incredible company. From working on the assembly line to supporting photoshoots, I immersed myself in every aspect of a successful business. My promotion to Director of Branding and Advertising recognized my dedication and work ethic. In this role, I am working on all initiatives that establish 27North's presence to our target market. That work includes pursuing brand deals and seeking out media coverage.
Hubbell Park
Over three months, I conducted verbal interviews and produced a five-page proposal for renaming Windtree Park to Hubbell Park. My report was published in the public record, and I advocated for the change before the Newcastle Community Activities Commission. It now awaits a decision, which will likely be rendered on September 11th, 2024. My presentation is available for viewing here, and you can find my publicly published proposal here.
Cookies with Tiffany
Tiffany recruited me to this fantastic company not long after Got Soup closed down. Having boothed next to her during my time with Got Soup? I got to know her and the incredible vision she has for her company. As an employee at Cookies with Tiffany, ran a stand at farmer's markets and local events. I also work in the bakeshop, preparing cookies. Trained on closing, I am entrusted with managing company facilities. I have developed close bonds with my colleagues in the bakeshop. Although I usually run the booth solo, I have just as much fun at markets. Serving cookies to smiling families and our loyal regulars makes my day.
Certificates and Courses
Over my summers, I explore my interests and sharpened my academic skills. I have completed Yale's Law Student toolkit and the University of Pennsylvania's Introduction to American Law. These experiences have given me clarity on my professional and personal ambitions and reflect my motivation and work ethic even in moments of rest.
Got Soup?
My Dad and I (pictured) have been loyal Mercer Island Farmer's Market customers for over a decade. In that time, we bonded with each other as well as the vendors on our Sunday adventures. That's how I met Jerry, founder of Got Soup? During COVID, Jerry invited me to join the ranks of Got Soup? At the company, I drove throughout Washington State running markets. Whenever Jerry traveled, I took over all operations. I ensured employees got paid, markets got setup, and opened and closed shop. I was also his on-call IT man. I migrated all company data to a new computer, updated labeling information, and managed his personal and professional technical needs. I spent many late nights at Got Soup? HQ working through technical difficulties. When Jerry retired, I helped shut down Got Soup? equipment and operations.
PERSONAL experiences
My Dad introduced me to weightlifting when I was 13. Since then, I have been weightlifting regularly. I love focusing on building myself. Weightlifting is meditative and cathartic.
I am an avid reader. Reading through Doris Kearns Goodwin's books and biographies lets me immerse myself in the stories of past leaders. Spending my day in the Lincoln cabinet or at a Roosevelt speech helps me wind down while gaining a deeper appreciation for those who made our country what it is today.
Every Friday, rain or shine, you can find me putting on my running shoes and hitting the road. Depending on where I am, I sometimes charge toward Seattle, Bellevue, or the White House. When my heart is pounding and my legs are swinging, my mind is clear.
