Experience
January 6th, 2022 – May 3rd, 2022
Resident Advisor | Resident Education and Development | University of Cincinnati

As a Resident Advisor, I oversaw 30+ students and acted as a confidant on a live-in, practically-
24/7 basis. My community is not a traditional residence hall; it is divided into twenty-one buildings
in a neighborhood-style complex. As an RA, I am responsible for the residents living in my
building, but during weekly duty nights, I am on-call for the larger community. My duties include
making maintenance requests, reporting incidents, handling personal crises for residents,
resolving conflicts between them, planning events, holding meetings, performing room
inspections, and basically acting as a trusted confidant for these students while they are at school
and all the craziness that that entails. (And, on one occasion, bug extermination.)

September 2021 – December 2021

Cost Updater | Filter Technology | Virtual

In this position, I was responsible for online data entry and price adjustment for the inventory of a
filter company.
January 2020 – March 2020
Social media manager | Field of Dreams | Lancaster, Ohio

In this position, I was in charge of running the social media accounts for a local small business. I
ran the Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. This included making posts, creating content, building
a following, running a livestream, and fielding messages from customers.

2018 – Present
Political Volunteer

I have broad experience in this field. I started off as a phonebanker, meaning I made calls to
constituents and encouraged them to vote, and then I began going door-to-door as a canvasser.
In the recent election, I took up textbanking, sending messages to voters all around the country to
either assist them in making a plan to vote, remind them of upcoming deadlines, or engage them
in conversations about which candidate they were voting for (and persuade them to vote for
mine.) During the primaries, I sent hundreds of text messages a day from the time texting opened
until it closed. I maintained conversations with people from lots of different walks of life and
learned how to navigate sensitive discussions, even if the voter was being combative. After the
presidential election, I still volunteer for candidates across the country.
