Texas Girls State is a program, operated by the American Legion Auxiliary, designed to educate our youth in the duties, privileges and responsibilities of American citizenship. The program is held for 2 weeks each June, with planning beginning months in advance. Each summer, a group of about 600 high school girls attend the program. In my role, I plan, perform, lead and MC, for daily assemblies and ceremonies. I work closely with the social media team to keep the attendees engaged, and make what could be a very serious, information heavy program, more enjoyable.

I perform with a band at restaurants, charities, and events, such as the State Fair of Texas. I work with clients to book, plan, and deliver their desired event. I manage our social media presence by creating events, posting pictures and videos, and creating content to gain followers.

I managed a team of 7 opticians and sales staff in the day-to-day operations in one of the country's most successful and fast paced doctor's offices. My duties included a mix of administrative tasks, such as hiring and training staff, managing inventory, setting sales goals, as well as working in customer service, and helping one on one with patients.
