Summary
I am currently a college student, attending community college in South Portland. I recently moved from Rockport ME to Brunswick ME for a change of pace, while also leaving a 4+ year job. After I graduate from there, I will continue to another University, on my way to obtaining a higher degree. I am seeking a great part-time job to gain more skills and experience.

Work History
General Manager
TRAPT Escape Rooms & Bear Den Billiards
Rockport , ME
01.2024 - 09.2024
- After the business was sold in January of 2024, I continued my employment with different owners and a slightly restructured business model. The new owners converted some of the space into a pool hall, as well as keeping all the escape room aspects the same. Our food menu lengthened, and a full kitchen was added, however, the alcoholic and non-alcoholic selections stayed the same for the most part. I left on great terms to move.

I hired and trained all of the employees, answered phones/emails, ordered the food/drinks, as well as all other products needed for the business, did event planning, built and designed all of the escape rooms, managed the schedule, food/drink service, cleanliness, decor, and handled many other aspects of the business.
Game Master
TRAPT Escape Rooms
Rockport , ME
09.2019 - 10.2020
- Before this position, I had many part-time jobs such as painting, laundry facility work, professional cleaning, etc. This business started development in September 2019 and officially opened in January 2020. I helped with the building and design process of the escape rooms and preparing for the business's opening. I ran the escape rooms (talked to customers, reset rooms, cleaned rooms, and facilitated aspects of technological parts, etc). This involved a great deal of customer interactions. COVID hit, which had us closed for 3 months. It then reopened again in June, with masks.
