I graduated with my Fine Art degree from San Francisco State University. At San Francisco State, I have taken classes in Art, Photography, and Design. My Art classes have taught me to appreciate classical artists as well as develop my own style. In my Photography courses, I learned both technical aspects as well as creative compositions. In the Photography classes we learned Lightroom and Bridge as well as Digital printing and Darkroom developing and printing. In my design courses I learned Photoshop and Illustrator. In my experience working at Starbucks, I developed many useful communication skills as well as multitasking skills. My manager recognized my ability to communicate effectively with the customers and recommended me for partner of the quarter. I tried to be a great example and inspiration to my coworkers. My dedication and handwork was recognized and I was received a promotion as a Shift Supervisor. To be an effective communicator, you need to be a great listener, I listened to the staff I was managing and recommended process changes to the manager. I had responsibilities of managing the daily cash deposits, opening and closing the store, as well as managing emergency events as they arose. Most recently I have been a camp counselor for the city of Glendale. It has given me great experience in child development and introduction to arts eduction. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to intern with Hidden Empire Film Group. I worked with the marketing team for the film "The House Next Door". I was in charge of distributing press kits to media outlets. I am seeking opportunities in the art gallery and exhibition community as well as arts education.
