I loved working in an environment that encourages engaging with customers, exploring talents, and learning about different people. At ThinkGeek, my job was to talk to customers about their geeky interests and point them towards merchandise that might interest them. I built great relationships with guests and coworkers alike.

My first customer service job, I was afforded the opportunity to interact with a multitude of people from different backgrounds and cultures. At Publix, my job was to ring up purchases and collect donations from customers. I learned a lot about customer satisfaction and problem-solving at Publix, and I am thankful for the experience.

I received my Bachelor degree in Creative Writing, with a double major in Technical Communication. My focus areas were fiction writing and multimedia. I took many classes that I know will be useful to me in the future, such as Instructional Design, Usability, International Technical Communications, Technical Editing, Multimedia, Social Media Management, and Creative Approaches to Nonfiction. I especially appreciated the opportunity to work for clients like the DHS and PINES Library and I look forward to putting my skills to use.

I attended the wonderful Buford High School in Buford, Georgia. In the Buford School system, I did four years of concert band, one year each of jazz and marching band, and six years of musical theatre.
