What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can deliver excellent customer service, handle transactions accurately, and support team goals—while continuing to grow my leadership and organizational skills in a welcoming workplace.

I’m a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies and a minor in Public Health, supported by additional academic experience at Valparaiso University and Purdue University Northwest. I bring a strong service mindset built through academic, athletic, coaching, and customer-facing experiences.

In retail roles, I delivered “exceptional customer service,” managed cash register operations and accurate transactions, and helped keep products and displays in strong condition through prompt restocking and merchandising. In leadership settings, I supervised a laser tag area to maintain a safe, enjoyable environment and supported teamwork by assisting with girls’ varsity basketball coaching through practice planning and game strategy.
