Work Experience

Patient Care Provider (Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center)

• December 2022-June 2023

• PCP in the ICU

• I started this job the semester before clinicals began in order to help better prepare myself for clinicals. I learned the essentials of taking care for patients as well as being comfortable in the hospital setting. I provided care for patients such as hygiene care, ambulation, taking vitals and blood sugars, assisting patients with meals, and working collaboratively with the nurses.

Server (Stop 50 Wood-fired Pizza)

• May of 2022-current

• This is a family-owned restaurant that has helped develop my abilities to multi-task, prioritize tasks, and communicate with customers and co-workers. My title is a server but I am very flexible and can help out with any task needed. I’ve been asked to host, run the register, take over the to-go orders, and even help back in the kitchen.

Sales Associate (Eddie Bauer)

• November of 2019-current

• I started this job in high school and to this day still get called in to work as needed. I credit this job for giving me “people skills”. I help customers shop based on their current needs and have great product knowledge to share with customers.

Volunteer Work 

• 120 + hours of volunteer work from 2017-2021

  • (2) Service Retreat to downtown Chicago 

    • On this retreat, we had collected hygiene supplies throughout the school year and at the end of the semester packaged them into care-bags. We went to downtown Chicago and hand delivered these bags to the folks living under bypasses. Both times I went on this retreat, it was in the dead of winter, so we would also spend a few hours a day at the local soup kitchen. We helped prepare supper as well as packed up snacks and sandwiches  that people could take with them.  This retreat was such an eye-opening experience and talking with these folks humbled me. Many were veterans, while others just got dealt a bad hand. I will never forget some of the conversations I had with these wonderful people.  

  • Sharing Meadows

    • I went to Camp Sharing Meadows multiple times in High School. Camp Sharing Meadows is a place where other-abled adults can go for the day. Camp Sharing Meadows gives individuals the ability to be self-sufficient and embrace there own unique skills and hobbies. Most of the times I went, I would go out to one of the barns and help with things like cracking walnuts, organzing the barn, transporting wood, and anything else they needed. I really loved going to Camp Sharing Meadows and hanging out with the members, 

  • Community Food Pantry of Saint Joseph County 

    • The Community Food Pantry was one of my favorite places to go in college. My soccer team and I would go there often to help pack boxes and organize food. This food pantry serves a huge portion of the St. Joseph area and I was always taken back at how many people needed help with providing for their family. I enjoyed helping behind the scenes and getting to be a part of helping the community that I lived in. I have to admit, I really enjoyed talking with the lead organizer, who was a retired Chicago police officer. 

  • South Bend Police Department

    • A part of being on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, I had the responsibility to organize a service project for my team to do every semester. The spring semester of 2024 was a tough one, new regulations allowed for us to practice more often which left everyone with less free-time. I had a hard time finding a date for the team to all be able to go somewhere for service. I had to be creative, and decided to ask everyone to pitch in a couple of dollars and write letters to the South Bend Police Department as a way of thanking them for all they do. Me and the other two captains then hand-delivered them and got to talk with some of the officers. It was a really cool experience. 

  • Misc.

    • Baking cookies for a nursing home by my high school

    • Organizing a stock room at a local food pantry (Valpraiso, IN)
