I spent a summer working as Remy International's Lead Failure Analysis Technician in their hybrid transmission division. It was my job to coordinate incoming and outgoing parts as well as instructing my employees on which tasks were the most important at the time. This taught me great project management skills as well as employee relations. It also allowed me to apply my past skills in technical analysis and mechanical design.

This year i am the treasurer for Earheart Itasca club. My position is to keep track of all activities when it comes to dealing with the budget. Also i am in charge of ensuring the books are accurate to ensure that we do not go over budget.

I worked as a sales associate at Coldwater Creek. I provided customers with service and worked behind the register.  I also aided in the visual arrangment and organization of the store.  Another one of my responsibilities was working in the stock room, where I unpacked shipments and prepared merchandise for the floor.

Analytical Intern

I worked with other lab members to implement an inventory tracking system to manage the lab supplies since many chemicals were being exhausted without proper notification. I did Vitamin C testing on nutritional products and 4day stability testing, which included pH, color, viscosity, grain, and cream testing. I learned about the industrial nutritional field and the importance of analytical testing and proper documentation. 

Pharmacy Intern:

I was responsible for taking prescriptions from the customer, entering prescriptions into the computer, filling the presciption, and processing register transactions.  I could also make compounds and deliver orders if necessary.

My most relevant job, experience-wise, to being a teacher was being a tennis instructor.  I was responsible for deciding what we were going to do everyday in class.  I also had to make things fun to keep the kids motivated.  I also was responsible for handling problems with parents and doing required paperwork for the kids and parents.

My job at Edy's Grand Ice Cream involved working in the mix room as a Mix Formulator.  I took several different ingredients that were needed to make a certain mix and batched them all together.  I also helped keep the mix room sanitary and orderly.

I plan on writing about my experiences at Interactive Intelligence. I was a software engineering intern. I worked on a C++ project in a team environment.  My duties were to maintain the component Session Manager and make bug fixes that component.

My most important job was the Senior Lab Assistant at Purdue, where I performed phone and in-person computer support and troubleshooting, managed student lab assistants, and monitored lab equipment.
