Team Attendant

I worked for the Austin spurs for 2 seasons, as a team attendant I was responsible for getting to the arena hours before the game to help set up the benches and other things around the stadium. I would help coaches and players on both the home and away team with their pregame and halftime warm up drills, as well as run to the locker room mid game if the coaches or players needed anything. Post game I was usually there for about an hour to help with clean up. I was also responsible for training and managing new team attendants and making sure everyone was where they needed to be and knew what they were doing.

Squad Member

Modpizza
01.2021 - 03.2021

Worked at Mod as my first paying job for about 30 hours a week while still going to school. All of my Co-workers loved working with me because I knew how to grind out my tasks and make the work place a more fun environment at the same time. I think what most people would first notice about me was how I'm super fun and out going and the customers loved it. I would dress up for holidays and even certain regulars would only order if I made their pizza. I was also the youngest member to be offered a promotion in such a short amount of time. I was the best at getting customers to buy into the special deals we offered and always worked at the front of the line because I was the best at greeting and Interacting with customers.
