Summary
I have a great deal of experience in collaborative environments. As a both a theatre major and an active participant in productions I have gained skills in working in stressful environments while promoting collaborative creativity. Through both my experience working with my school's costume department and my minor in fashion I have learned about garment construction, fashion history, and communication through clothing. Through my job experience both as a shift lead at Jamba and as head host at Boneyard Bistro I have learned more practical management skills and knowing how to make a fast paced environment more productive and organized.
