What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support arts or entertainment experiences while delivering excellent service. I want a team that values reliability, clear communication, and opportunities to grow in operations and audience-facing work.

I’m a Humanities student with a focus on Arts and Aesthetics, drawn to how culture, media, and public life shape each other. My coursework and thesis work explore interpretation and social meaning, including “A Burlesque Prison: Dance Moms as a microcosm of US society.” I’m motivated by thoughtful collaboration, clear communication, and turning complex ideas into engaging experiences.

In my Student Intern role at Panke.gallery, I supported day-to-day exhibition operations end to end. I helped manage the opening process, maintained and serviced the gallery for smooth running, and renovated a backroom space to expand exhibition capacity through organization, cleaning, painting, dismantling, and installation. During openings, I delivered patron service—distributing media, handling cash transactions, and answering exhibition questions.

I also bring strong operational and service experience from Regal Cinemas and Target. At Regal Cinemas, I handled guest service across box office, concessions, and ushering, operated POS systems, enforced MPAA rating policies, and supported safety, crowd control, and daily opening/closing routines. At Target, I fulfilled online orders with accuracy and speed, assisted in-store operations during a remodel, and consistently met productivity goals—backed by comfort with MS Office, Google Workspace, and modern communication tools.
