WORK EXPERIENCE
Kokomo Frozen Yogurt, 2016-Current
I work 21-25 hours per week. I am responsible for providing a fun customer experience selling frozen
yogurt. I consistently take the lead for welcoming customers into the store, assisting them with
choosing one of our homemade yogurts and toppings to create a delicious treat. I manage the cash
register and the cleanliness of the store. Our customers experience is complete when they leave with a
smile. As the lead employee, I oversee the work of other employees.
Chipotle, Summer 2016
I worked 40 hours per week as the Lead Closing Cashier. I was responsible for providing prompt
customer service, maintaining the cleanliness of the restaurant and handling all customer transactions
and closing out the register at the end of the day, which included counting all money and reporting
cash, credit, and gift card amounts into the system.
Actress, 2006-2012
Working through Acclaim Talent agency, I booked television commercials for local to international
broadcasting. In preparation for auditions, I read scripts and went to acting classes. Acting instilled in
me the confidence to reach for and accomplish my goals, and helped to expand my speaking and
interpersonal skills at a young age.

ACTIVITIES
St. Marys Catholic Church Volunteer, 2016
I volunteer twice a week for 4 hours inputting the weekly collection for 4700 parishioners, filing, and
assisting the Parish Administrative Services Director as needed.
Conspiracy Theory Club, 2016
In this organized school club we discuss theories on events that have occurred throughout history. The
most recent topic was the truth behind the first moon landing.
Chandler Public Library Volunteer, 2015-2016
During the summers I volunteer up to four days a week for 4-8 hours assisting with the Kids Program,
reading books to children and re-shelving returned books.
Seton Catholic Preparatory Volunteer, 2013-2016
During the summers I volunteer filling two hundred Parent Orientation folders for Back to School
night. In order to reduce the amount of time filling the folders, I streamlined the process by
combining the twenty individual documents into one Word document. We were then able to print and
collate each of the 200 packets thus eliminating the 200 count individual documents stacked in an
assembly line to fill the folders.
Phoenix Children's Project, 2013-2015
For the past three years I have organized through my softball team a food, clothing, toys and
household items drive for families in need during the holidays. Once all items were collected, we
wrapped and delivered them to the families in time for Christmas.
American Cancer Society, Relay for Life, 2013
I organized my high school softball teams participation during my freshman year. All donated funds
are given to the American Cancer Society.
Club and High School Softball, Pitcher, 2007-2016
I spent 15 hours per week at club team practices and private pitching and hitting lessons. Additionally,
my club team played in tournaments twice a month during the school year and in the summer we
traveled across the United States competing in college showcases and national qualifying tournaments
against nationally ranked players and teams. I consistently led our club team pitching staff in
strikeouts and ERA percentage. My recent club accomplishments in 2015 were winning a national
championship at the Colorado Fireworks, Super 32 and posting a .56 ERA at the Premier Girls
Fastpitch National Championships in Huntington Beach, CA. For high school, I hold records from my
freshman year for most strikeouts in a game (13Ks) and pitching the first perfect game. As a
freshman, I led our school to the state playoffs. I have received several collegiate scholarship offers to
play Division I softball but I am foregoing those opportunities to pursue my dream of attending UT
for my undergraduate education.
