Great Lakes Medical Equipment

• Jackson, Michigan Area

• Temporary Office Manager

  • Jun 2012 - Jul 2019

  At Great Lakes Medical, I fill-in as needed in the company's office. I work without immediate supervision, allowing me practice performing independently. I balance multiple communication mediums, including phone, email, and fax. This has helped me to become more flexible and has simultaneously improved my communication skills. I also work with both an electronic and traditional filing system, using them in conjunction to locate patient information. This has improved my organizational capabilities, as it forces me to keep track of related information in multiple locations.



Anderton Machining

• Jackson, Michigan

• Administrative Assistant

  • Feb 2018 - Aug 2018

  In my time at Anderton, I had the opportunity of assisting office staff in the operational and administrative duties of a manufacturing organization. Although my tasks were assigned to me on a daily or weekly basis, I performed much of my work independently. This helped me to practice time management and prioritization of tasks. I was also expected to answer the office phone and greet guests at the door, which allowed me to practice flexibility as I bounced from one activity to another as different circumstances arose. Finally, I improved my communication skills, as I often contacted various vendors and customers, either to request or send invoices and other documentation.



Jackson Area Manufacturer's Association "I Can Make It!" Camp

• Jackson, Michigan Area

• Cabin Resident and Teaching Assistant

  • Jul 2009 - Jul 2018

  At "I Can Make It!" Camp, I have had the opportunity of mentoring elementary and middle-school aged kids in the areas of math, science, and technology. The camp is a week-long overnight camp that I have attended every summer since 2006. I was a camper for my first three years, after which time I became a junior counselor. When I turned 18 in 2014, I finally became a full-fledged cabin resident and teaching assistant, responsible for campers both during the day and overnight. This position has been very unique and has taught me a lot about leadership and responsibility. In addition, it has been a great opportunity to give back to my community and make a positive impact on the youth. I hope to be able to continue to give back throughout my entire career and am very thankful to have had this special experience. (Please note: from 2009 through 2013, my position was "Junior Counselor" and in 2018, I served only as a cabin resident.)



Texas West Barbeque

  • Sep 2017 - Feb 2018

  At West Texas, I was often the first face customers saw when entering the restaurant. I served as their point of contact with the rest of the restaurant and tried to make sure each customer had a positive dining experience. Because of this, I improved my customer service skills and learned how to communicate with all types of people. At West Texas, I was often the first face customers saw when entering the restaurant.

  • May 2017 - Aug 2017

  During my summer with student painters, I worked as part of a team of college students to perform exterior house painting. We all came from different backgrounds, and painting is intense physical labor. In order to complete our jobs, we were forced to work as a team and reconcile our differences. This helped me to build my teamwork skills and also to recognize and appreciate diversity.

Walton Insurance Group

• United States
• Insurance
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Marketing Intern

  • Mar 2017 - May 2017

  During my internship with Walton, I got to put my marketing skills to use. One of my intern projects was to create a catalog of insurance-related blog posts that could be utilized on the company's website. This was a huge opportunity to better my written-communication and, since I had little background on insurance, my research skills. Similarly, I had to opportunity to update the company website and create a catalog of social media posts for the upcoming year. I also participated in further research on millennial insurance-buying habits. Marketing is all about proper research and communication, and this internship definitely helped to polish my skills.
