I have a virtual position as a student assistant under a professor in the Social Sciences department. As I am still in school (virtually), this has been an excellent position to get more work experience in an assistant role. This position's primary tasks were to help answer student emails, assist with lesson plan layouts, find educational research for the professor to implement in the weekly lessons and any other help the professor needed from me.

• Mentored and tutored individual students needing additional help.
• Organized materials in classroom spaces based on lecture plans, activity stations or other requirements outlined by teachers.
• Shared important information with students concerning upcoming assignments and tests.
• Developed materials for classroom teachers to support instruction, lab work or in-class activities.

I was introduced to the world of E-commerce modeling while I was a high school student finishing my Senior year. Over the past four years, it has proved to be one of the best experiences thus far in my professional career. While already having a passion and interest for working in retail marketing, the ability to actually work with stylists, photographers, and other creatives in this field has given me so much insight to what this fashion/retail industry is about.

Things I've learned while being in this position:

• Worked closely with designers to represent their vision accurately, ensuring garment fit and styling met expectations.
• Secured repeat bookings through outstanding professionalism and versatility.
• Promoted products and services by posing for commercials, live shows, and photo shoots.
• Remained focused, motivated and professional throughout long shoots and events.
• Networked with industry professionals at events, fostering valuable relationships that led to future opportunities.

I started at Starbucks during my Freshman year of College, and it was an amazing entry-level experience in the world of customer service. I learned so much from my time there from dealing with customers, employees, store maintenance, management, multi-tasking, and ultimately contributing to a pleasant environment for customers. I think all of these qualities are key to being successful in any workplace regardless of the industry.

Throughout college I wanted to connect with kids on a personal level and prepare myself for my future classroom. One of the best ways you can do this is by getting to know and help kids on a personal one on one level. At the Kieselbach household I:

• Assisted the student with homework assignments and special projects across different subjects.
• Picked student up from school and fed him what the parents had instructed.
• Involved student in caring for household pets and completing a daily list of chores.
• Led indoor and outdoor activities to entertain and occupy the student. Ex: Playing catch with a football, teaching him how to ride a bike, and read books with him.

While working for the YMCA of Cass and Clay Counties I was stationed at Robert Asp Elementary School. There I was a counselor for the after school program in charge of completing all daily tasks with my students, those tasks included:

• Coordinate, implement and evaluate YMCA School programs and related activities to promote beneficial student outcomes.
• Communicate with parents about students' activities and reported concerns and suggestions to the program
• Kept accurate records on participants' activity attendance, disciplinary actions and medication usage to improve student documentation.
• Designed enjoyable and innovative customized after school activities based upon fitness goals and kids interests.
