Work Experience

When I was 16 I walked into the toy store I went to and loved as a child and got my first job.   The manager asked a couple of questions and before I finished the application I had the job.  For 2 years I helped customers choose the perfect toy for every occasion they felt worth celebrating, did inventory, wrapped presents and blew up balloons for every kid who asked.  I also realized its not always the kids that are te brats, but the parents!

Over the summer I had a photography internship at an organization called Thrive D.C.  Thrive D.C. is a homeless services community center.  I loved every minute of the wonderful opportunity, because I had the chance to practice something I loved, work with some great people and learn a lot. 

Now, at UNCA I work as an intern in the Marketing and Communications Department.  I run the University's social media outlets and work on various photography projects.  Basically I know all of the University's secrets....
