SUMMARY

Since graduating Magna Cum Laude from Saint Anselm College in May 2015, I have effectively entered the workforce. I learn quickly, have a positive attitude, and am fluent in German. Time management and determination allowed me to finish school a year early with two majors and a minor, while maintaining multiple part-time positions. I continue to apply my excellent work ethic and am extremely dependable. I have had experience teaching dance, working at a grocery store, working at a clothing store, feeding the homeless, spending time with underprivileged teenagers, doing extensive research, and working as a sample coordinator and administrative assistant.
