Working under Wendy Quinn, I provide technical support for her team of realtors across Memphis. I do assistant work and help with IT problems that appear on a day-to-day basis. I work with her team to solve their operating system problems and show them instructions to fix their issues.

Working at Magnolia and May introduced me to working in a high-turnout environment. I prepared and cooked orders, and organized ingredients each week. Being a small restaurant, I got to help make design decisions in the restaurant and use creative skills in making new dishes.

My time at Knifebird consisted of coordinating the back-of-house operations during dinner service and carefully preparing orders. I learned how a business runs from working closely with the owners, and the importance of organization and time management.

I had the opportunity to work on a local campaign and gained a lot of business experience. I ended the summer with a better sense of high-stress work environments while keeping a well-respected composure. My job involved talking to potential voters while keeping track of large-scale Excel spreadsheets of precinct information.

At the event company, I worked on preparing and setting up weddings, graduations, and other events with numerous floral arrangements and decoration materials. There were many times when I worked with the owners on IT and computer complications to keep operations running.
