In the years before and during college, I’ve worked in industries ranging from restaurants to production to healthcare. My problem-solving skills, strong work ethic, and motivation to learn something new daily have made me into the experienced and devoted worker I am today.

Experience:

At a local media company, Smart Marketing, I worked as an intern under the head videographer and editor. I assisted in film and photography shoots and spent time in the editing lab to finish projects for clients. Before this, I had worked as a freelance videographer utilizing the skills I learned in my courses at school. I was able to combine the expertise and knowledge from my education, and personal work, and effectively apply these practices to the internship. It was a perfect balance of first-hand application and diligent hands-on practice in a professional setting. This was my first time working in an established media production business and I was able to see firsthand how to digitally market products or services for audiences online.

During the summer and winter of 2022, I worked as the Director of Central Supply for The Jewish Home for Rehabilitation and Nursing. At this local nursing home, I was in charge of organizing, stocking, and purchasing medical and nonmedical products for the nurses and patients. I learned how to effectively organize a 140+ bed medical facility by maintaining adequate stock, distributing goods according to the patient census, and keeping close communication with other staff throughout each shift.

For four years, I worked in the restaurant at Monmouth Beach Bath and Tennis Club. I started off as a busboy, then later as a food runner, and finally as a server. From normal shifts to banquets and guest parties, I was able to gain valuable experience catering to the needs of guests, staying quick on my toes, and always keeping close attention to my tasks, thus maintaining a smooth-running kitchen. This job also provided me with the chance to improve my team working skills by staying in close communication with my coworkers, and assisting management with day-to-day operations.

These are just three areas of my past work experience that identify critical aspects of my strengths and skills. Each day, I make sure to apply myself, and the knowledge that I have acquired, to be organized, resilient, observant, and hardworking. In the future, I hope to work in the field of video production, or business management, to provide high-quality work that I am passionate about and excited to work on day in and day out.
