At the GUILD, I contributed to a startup focusing on connecting professional women with unique matchmaking platform and events. I assisted with the overall production of GUILD events and contributed to the content creation of unique women's’ conference.

I worked for several incredible families in the Bay Area. During this time, my responsibilities included: maintaining communication with working parents, maintaining household organization (meal prep, light cleaning, chores, etc.), providing academic assistance (help with homework and school projects), and maintaining lasting relationships. Other responsibilities included running errands and work-related assistance (research and creating spreadsheets).

At Heffernan, I was responsible for a wide range of projects, including auditing and organizing i-9 files; researching and composing a new policy for the employee handbook, as well as edit said handbook. I followed up with employment verifications, helped complete new hire and termination paperwork, created an HR calendar for my managers, made welcome bags for interns and new hires, and helped in Heffernan's efforts to go paperless. I thoroughly organized and audited the personnel files and was responsible for preparing and sending ESOP statements. At the request of my manager, I also researched and presented a potential new company benefit.

After attending bartending classes regularly and learning countless drink recipes, at Central Park I learned that the perfect way to make a drink is to listen to the customer and their preferences. In this restaurant atmosphere in Downtown San Mateo, I honed my ability to maintain both a professional and personable demeanor, meeting people where they're at. As the sole bartender in a busy restaurant environment, I demonstrated my ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment. My responsibilities also included setting up my own work space, as well as cleaning it perfectly, and maintaining inventory.

I immersed myself in French culture working on conversational English with a wonderful French family. This included cooking together, going to local music events or festivals, helping pick produce in the garden, letting them teach me French as I was teaching them English, and building relationships.
