About

As a Lindner College of Business student, I want to position myself well to succeed not only when I graduate, but as I progress through college. Some of my goals include completing 2-3 internships/co-ops by the time I graduate, working at least one of those abroad to gain international experience, and to work as a financial advisor upon graduation. I have always been very analytical which is what really draws me to study finance; as well as having the opportunity to help others make money and invest in a secure future. My prior work experience is quite diverse. I've worked at a family owned nursery, in sales at Marc's Grocery, as a student member of the admissions office at Malone University, and as a Lifeguard at a family owned water park where I became certified in first aid and CPR. Throughout my different jobs I have learned many invaluable lessons some of which being working in teams, providing excellent customer-service, and being prepared to adapt to different workplace cultures.

I learned a lot about how to work with others in an office environment through this job. I worked with school advisors to enter in prospective student information and other content into our database as well as represented the campus to prospective students, parents, alumni, and community members.

As a cashier at Marc's, my job was very structured and routine. I performed cash transactions, worked with my team in store clean-up and beautification, as well as provided great customer service when interacting or helping customers. Through this job I learned that customer service is truly key to providing a good experience to shoppers, as well as how to present myself professionally to give the business a positive representation.

I worked with a team of guys who cared for the store grounds and maintained flow of operations. This included many tasks like making installation deliveries to customers' houses whether the product be heavy plants and shrubs or outdoor accessories, helping customers pick out, transport, and load products, or unloading product out of delivery trucks. I learned key skills such as connecting with customers and helping them fulfill their vision with the products we provide, and also the importance of putting work in outside of job training to make yourself a better employee. I had no knowledge of plants before starting this job, and although it wasn't necessary, learning a small amount about each of our more popular products made me able to help customers when they had questions.

Being a lifeguard requires constant focus and high awareness, as well as a high level of communication with your lifeguard team. This job included tasks such as becoming qualified for the position through classes and tests instructed through The American Red Cross, extensive training at the park learning protocol, watching my zone studiously enforcing rules to keep customers safe, and acting quickly to jump in and save struggling swimmers or active drowners. This was easily my most rewarding job because you were actively helping or saving those in need. This instilled in me the drive to want to help others directly in my professional career which is a large reason why I desire to be a financial advisor.
