I am self-directed, hard working graduate of Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, CA, with experience in communication, business management and research, teaching, writing and public speaking.

I started my own online business in the summer of 2022, in which I learned valuable marketing, customer service, business research, and financial skills. Since all my products are self-designed and created, I also had to teach myself to use graphic design tools, such as AdobePhotoshop and CanvaPro. This difficult, yet rewarding experience also taught me the virtues of perseverance, patience, and prudence in dealing with customers and learning how to make my first sales.

I have 3 years of experience teaching elementary through high school students, and I have instructed them in Latin, Fine Arts, Government, Economics, Theology and Apologetics. Working with children of all ages and their parents has greatly improved my skills in communication, interpersonal relations, writing, editing, lecturing, public speaking, and patience.

In college, I worked in a commercial kitchen setting for two years and learned how to prep food, serve meals and wash pots and dishes. This experience taught me that a kind smile and a friendly face do more to make a work experience memorable than almost anything else. At TAC, I also spent one summer working on the custodial team, and in this role I not only learned how to clean almost anything imaginable, but I also learned how to motivate & direct others in doing difficult and seemingly insurmountable tasks.

In high school and college, I directed and organized groups of young people in mission work and led weekly meetings and discussions to plan events. In this capacity, I also directed and co-led many youth retreats and summer camps, and I spent one whole summer doing missions in Atlanta, GA. These experiences developed my skills in event coordinating, management, leadership, interpersonal relations, organization, and communication.

In high school, I also served as the assistant music director at St. Justin Martyr Parish in Seminole, FL for a year. In this capacity, I greatly increased my musical performance skills as a singer and organist, and I learned valuable abilities like multitasking, cooperating with others in a team, planning/organizing musical programs, and directing others in musical ensembles.

Singing is also a great passion of mine, and I served for 9 years as a cantor at my hometown parish and performed in several solo roles at TAC.
