I am a driven individual who is motivated by success. I have been described as someone who is personable, determined and reliable. I have experience coaching 6th and 7th graders in Basketball during my early High School years. Towards the end of High School I worked as a Server at La Campagnola, a four star restaurant located in South Jersey. Serving has taught me to have unbelievable patience, enhance my time management and improve my people skills. I left serving to further my education at West Chester University in the fall of 2014. In the Summer of 2015 I worked for Sherwood Landscape, Lighting and Design based out of South Jersey. I’m currently the Public Relations chair of Pi Kappa Phi and have also been on the recruitment committee since the beginning of 2015. More recently, I’ve been a sales and marketing representative for SIDELINES sportswear in Frazier, PA as a summer internship in 2017. As of now, I am currently a server at Outback Steakhouse while finishing my last semester of college and searching for a beginning to a new career path.
