Avery West

I have worked both as an audio technician for a community theater and as a cashier for a farm. During these two jobs, I have learned how to interact with a large variety of people and situations. I know what it is like to deal with rough customers, and endure stressful situations where time is a luxury that I simply don't have. I have learned to multitask and lead a team, but before I led a small team, I learned how to follow orders. I believe that these two jobs, though not related to my field of study in college, have helped prepare me for my future.

• I took piano lessons for 11 years and I play in my colleges marching band as a Trumpet, learning how to memorize sheets of music rather quickly.
• I volunteer for school supply drives inmy hometown for the less fortunate.
• I play in brass quartets for religious ceremonies and services, specifically for Christmas Eve services, but also for Easter Vigil.
• In High School I was a part of Key Club, where we would volunteer our time to help in our community.
• In High School I was a part of my schools History Club, which would raise money to send Vietnam, Korean, and World War 2 Veterans to Washington DC to see the war memorials built to honor them and their fallen comrades.
