Research Associate

I assist in the development of employees and offer operational assistance to the cafe. Additionally, I assist with inventory tracking, replenishment buying and I am instrumental in menu creation and interior design decisions. Everyday, I provide friendly and consistent customer service to a diverse customer base as a cook, cashier, barista and server. Another role I play is creating food and lifestyle photo imagery to broaden brand growth and engagement with our social media community.

Also, I have created and I am maintaining an image library. Additionally, I travel to staff events throughout the state to photograph staff at work.

Contract Photographer

Paddle Taxi currently provides access to one of the greatest natural resources and preserved areas in the United States, the Mississippi River and they help paddlers overcome logistical planning obstacles that often accompany paddling the river. They work from a community level, partnering with established organizations, to identify barriers, stigma and misinformation about the state of the river. 

As a co-founder of this non-profit organization, I took on the role of establishing a web and community presence for Paddle Taxi by promoting the organization and collaborating locally and sustaining social followers. I worked to develop creative competence and artistic vision through production of social media content. A key component of my position was creating photo/video content to inspire and share the vision of the organization.

Creative Director

As a snowboard instructor, I taught skills to instill confidence for snowboarding and for life. On a daily basis, I planned a challenging and rewarding snowboarding curriculum for individual and group lessons for people of all abilities, aged 5-70. I facilitated an environment of safety, fun, and individual empowerment.  I developed personalized relationships through attentive customer service, exceeding clients’ expectations.  A crucial skill I learned was the ability to manage and guide groups of up to 15 people throughout the ski area. This honed my presentation and communication skills to deliver instruction clearly and concisely.
