EXPERIENCE
Club Volleyball March 2019– Present
Challenge Volleyball Club, Covington, LA
 Member of the team in which I was a defensive specialist and Libero. I attended 2 days a week practice, workout
days and private lessons with my coach and other assistant coaches.
 I am a volunteer coach for the younger teams in which I run through drills with the kids and aid the coaches in
teaching the kids their fundamentals.
 Developed the skills I need to live out a healthy lifestyle by learning from my coach who was a registered
nutritionist.
Food Service January 2021– March 2021
Salad Station, Covington, LA
 I worked as a cashier where I answered customers questions and prepared online orders. When in this position, I
also had to make sure all the tables and open services that customers could touch were clean, not only because of
the food aspect of the job but with this being around the time covid was of bigger concern.
 I worked behind the bar where I cut and prepared different foods and cooked items that required more
preparation than solely being cut.
 Here, I developed social skills required in the customer service industry, as well as learning how to prepare food
properly when it is meant to stay out for long periods of time.

Babysitting August 2017– Present

Covington, LA
 I babysit for 3 different families in my neighborhood whenever they need me.
 Instead of having a set schedule the families text me at least 3 days in advance to schedule me to watch the kids
to make sure I am not busy.
 Through this I have learned how to communicate with and text adults concerning scheduling and how to cook
meals that the kids will eat but are also good for them.
 Babysitting has taught me how to manage my time when an unexpected call comes up asking if I am available to
watch the kids.

SKILLS
Growing up in a family that cooks frequently has taught me how to prepare healthy meals, for a big group of people, that
everyone can enjoy. Also, since I have been involved in sports all my life, I have had to get good at managing my time
and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with lots of exercise and leaving room for much needed rest. Through different jobs I
have had I have gained social skills needed in interacting and having patience with different types of people.

ACTIVITIES
I am currently a member of Phi Mu fraternity as of August 2021 and I plan on joining the LSU club volleyball team in my
sophomore year at this university.
