Take a journey through my career with me! Over the past five years, I have gotten a multitude of experience with several jobs and companies. I am so proud and grateful for each opportunity and credit each one with my success.
My current role is Merchandise Associate at the Universal Studios Store at Citywalk. In this position, I process sales transactions at the highest volume store on Universal property, personally ringing in thousands of dollars in sales daily. I provide guest experiences through suggestive selling and product knowledge. I also assist in stocking the floor and register supplies, as well as maintaining the sales floor appearance by cleaning shelves and surfaces. Another part of my role is preparing and serving Butterbeer, following food safety standards.
I recently completed a Merchandise Operations Leadership Internship at the Universal Studios Store at Citywalk! Through this experience, I had the ability to learn about and shadow all aspects of the department. I trained as an Associate, Stocker, and completed Supervisor Cash Handling processes. Then, I went through Global Exposure, where I got to experience other stores' operations and spent time with all supporting departments, such as Loss Prevention, Merchandise Services, and Visual Merchandising. To conclude the experience, I shadowed more leadership functions at my home venue, and then helped run the store as a Supervisor. I have learned so much through this program, especially since my store is the largest and highest-volume Merchandise location across Universal property!
Previously, I was an Attractions Attendant at Yoshi's Adventure and Interactives. This had been my most challenging but most rewarding position yet as every day brought something new and exciting. In this job, safety is the emphasis, with amazing guest service also holding high value. Getting to be both a ride operator at Yoshi's and a game curator at Super Nintendo World Interactives was truly wonderful because I had two home venues and many more responsibilities I got to learn and execute. And as a bonus, I got to assist at other venues as needed, my favorite being Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment!
During the summer of 2025, I completed an internship as a Front Desk Agent with Marriott/Schulte Hospitality. During this role, I learned the FOSSE reservation management system, while helping guests with check in, check out, and making/canceling reservations. I also got to shadow tasks in housekeeping, sales, food and beverage, and maintenance departments.
Last year, I worked with Aramark at Chickfila as a Food Service Worker, both front-of-house and back-of-house trained. I got lots of experience with preparing and serving food, following safety and sanitation standards. I also continued to practice cash handling and guest service.
Throughout high school and college, I have been a babysitter and tutor in English and Math. The students I have worked with have shown incredible improvements in school, which makes me so proud.
One of my most favorite things I have ever done was when I was a 2nd Grade and PreK/Kindergarten Sunday School Teacher. I got to curate lesson plans, activities, and share my passion and knowledge with the incredible students.
During my high school summers, I was a Summer Camp Counselor and Area Coordinator with Camp Shalom. I really enjoyed working with the campers and ensuring their safety and enjoyment during camp.
Going way back, I got my first job at Publix when I was 14 years old as a Front Store Clerk and Cashier. I learned valuable skills such as cash handling and guest service.
