Work History

Merchandise Ambassador

Aquatica, Seaworld
Orlando, Florida
05.2024 - 07.2024

As a merchandise ambassador, I performed all retail duties while gaining valuable experience serving customers from diverse cultures. I was challenged to assist non-English speakers and discovered the joy in connecting with people from all walks of life.

Engineering Assistant Intern

Silgan Closures
Kingsport, TN
01.2023 - 01.2024

During my internship as an assistant to the Production Engineer, I independently managed projects from ideation to presentation, gaining valuable leadership experience. I extensively used Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and AutoCAD, while also gaining hands-on experience on the production floor and in the maintenance shop. This role deepened my understanding of manufacturing and engineering and fostered a greater respect for operators and technicians, shaping my perspective as I pursue a career in engineering.

Bookkeeper

Ingles Markets
Kingsport, TN
02.2022 - 05.2023

As a bookkeeper, I ensured cashiers and departments balanced their tills, and no money went missing. I managed bank deposits, reconciled cash, and resolved discrepancies while also instructing front-end staff and overseeing the store in the Customer Service Manager's absence. This role taught me the value of servant leadership and efficient problem-solving strategies.
