What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a customer-centered role where I can use my communication, marketing, and creative writing strengths. I want to keep growing toward creative arts work while contributing to a supportive, people-first environment.

I’m a customer-facing floor staff and brand ambassador who brings strong communication, marketing, and sales experience to every shift. I enjoy engaging with people, helping with tickets and food, and making sure customers feel taken care of.

I graduated in 2023 with a bachelor’s focused in Film Studies, Acting, Writing, and Business Communications. That background fuels how I show up—thoughtful, creative, and always learning—while keeping my customer service skills sharp.

In addition to theater work, I supported students in a campus disability office by helping with student testing, organizing paperwork, deliveries, and receptionist front-desk duties. I also worked as a Brand Ambassador at Forever 21—helping customers find outfits, organizing the store, assisting in the fitting room, and promoting items temporarily on social media.

I’m also an ongoing pet sitter and animal rights activist, so I’m comfortable caring for others with patience and consistency. I’m looking for a role where I can combine service, communication, and creative writing to grow professionally and contribute to a meaningful, people-first environment.
