I have both experience with customer service and departmental tasks. In service industry jobs, I became an effective communicator and found ways to make small tasks more efficient. I have been working in service since I was 14-years-old with over 5 years experience in the industry. In the African and African Diaspora Studies Department, I had to facilitate between, students, staff, professors, and department heads. I found ways to market our department to students, making sure information was concise and enticing. I had extensive current and historical information about the Department and it's various buildings across campus. Both Industries made me an excellent multi-tasker and a goo team player. I graduated high school at 16 and started UT Austin the same year. Being an a competitive institution at a young age made me accustom to learning quickly and pushed me to be diligent as well as punctual. In high school, I took 3 years of Audio Visual classes that trained me to use cameras, tripods, photoshop, adobe premier, and Ableton Live. This class is what led me to be involved in the Queer Eye Episode done at my high school, Navarro Early College high school.
I worked on three research projects: Racialized tracking in education, racial categorizations in the US census, and student knowledge of the African and African Diaspora Studies department.
