Work History

Store Associate

Abercrombie and Fitch
Boca Raton, FL
07.2022 - 09.2022
  • This was my first retail career experience
  • It was a lot of information to digest through training week
  • Intricate elements were scattered across the entire ordeal
  • It was all about attention to detail
  • I studied hard and took my time spent in the store seriously
  • Over a short span of shifts, I managed to learn the trade of each and every section of the store
  • From the men’s section to the women’s, I was a master at everything a manager could ever require
  • I talked to customers and helped them shop
  • I maintained areas of interest in order to keep the store approachable for customers
  • I opened and closed shifts
  • I was truly a 'jacob-of-all-trades'

Dining Room Server

Icona Windrift
Avalon, NJ
06.2022 - 08.2022
  • Although I started as a busboy, I quickly worked my way up to server within the first month of my employment
  • I was addressed to the establishment’s finest and most esteemed section
  • Dressed accordingly, I was tasked with working both inside and out of the dining room kitchen
  • As a server, I performed diligently to multitask between reading and managing flowing orders in the kitchen while making sure these same orders were being presented by myself and another server in a timely fashion
  • Alongside just one other server, I worked in a collaborative effort to properly maintain all tables in the dining room

Cashier, Order Management, Delivery

Marsini’s Kitchen
Somers Point, NJ
05.2021 - 08.2021
  • During my time working at this popular restaurant in my local community, I learned to work like an octopus
  • Multitasking was an understatement, as I never had one established role when I would come into work
  • I operated myself at a high level for the sole betterment of the establishment
  • In a synergistic effort, my fellow coworkers and I bounced off each other around the restaurant like ants in a collective colony
  • If there was a delivery, I had my car already running
  • If there was a need for kitchen assistance, I was food prepping
  • Because this restaurant was a delivery/take-out/catering business, I was also tasked with time-managing both incoming and online ticket orders
  • Furthermore, if there was an absence behind the counter, I was able to excel as a cashier taking walk-in orders as well as incoming phone call requests

Intern-Sports Journalist, Editor

Ocean City Sentinel Newspaper
Ocean City, NJ
09.2020 - 04.2021
  • After the damaging outbreak of covid-19 made shockwaves through my senior year of high school, I was able to take on the responsibility of a full-time internship during class hours
  • The study of journalism and all things writing particularly spark the deepest roots of my interest tree
  • Most days of the week, I spent my time editing and writing at the office of the newspaper company
  • Side by side with the pros, I was always attentive to their teachings
  • I constantly picked up new writing techniques and grammar critiques, as I was tasked with editing all aspects of the week’s paper from the sports pages to the political abstracts
  • Additionally, I managed my own section of the sports section of the newspaper
  • Every week, I interviewed two student athletes from a variety of community high schools in the paper’s jurisdiction
  • I then wrote an article for each student based on the conclusive results of my investigative journalist research
  • Over the span of my internship, I was proudly able to publish fifty articles
  • I had my name in the paper for my own athletic reasons before, but it was definitely more of an accomplishment to have my name under the writer’s list each and every week
