What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my leadership skills and passion for history while contributing to a collaborative team environment.

As a dedicated student at Manhattan University pursuing a B.A. in History with a minor in Spanish, I have developed a strong foundation in research and communication. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my 4.0 GPA in high school and my involvement in various honor societies.

My experience as a host, server, and bartender at The Vault has honed my interpersonal communication skills in a fast-paced environment, where I consistently strive to exceed customer expectations. Additionally, my role as a stage manager for the Manhattan University Players has allowed me to coordinate complex productions, demonstrating my ability to manage teams and ensure seamless operations.
