At Club Demonstration Services, I prepare food and drink samples according to health and safety guidelines and provide Costco members with product information, including prices, nutrition, and preparation steps.

At Portland YouthBuilders, I assisted senior patrons with desktop and mobile device troubleshooting and designed printed materials to match client requests. I also performed science demonstrations at OMSI and supported children in recreational activities at Portland Parks & Recreation.
