General Dynamics Global Imaging Technologies
At General Dynamics, I am an intern for the summer of 2016. I am currently working on a project I created for myself there, after exploring the depths of their data files and realizing that the current database needed improvement. I am working on creating a presentation to present to my colleagues as well a my boss to hopefully convince them to upgrade to EDPM: a more organized database system. While I am not working on this side project, I am helping with customer service by making quotes for customers to efficiently complete orders, helping the finance department by entering invoices into the system once they have been received, and working with supply chain management to manage the current data documents.

BetchaTV |
For the month of January, I had an internship at a company called Immedia Semiconductor. This is a computer hardware company that produces it's own product, Blink, a home monitoring system. I worked with several team members to help keep the company organized. I created and implemented an organizing strategy for computer hardware, and I ran a program to test electronic chips for the company's current product. My experience at Immedia was a positive one and I learned a lot about organization and how to work at a startup.

BabysittingI have worked as a babysitter since I was in middle school. I have worked with over 4 families, and lots of kids. I currently work as a nanny, babysitting multiple times per week after school. I have a passion for working with kids. Kids bring joy to my life, they're not afraid to say how they feel, and they always make me smile. While working with kids is not a future career path I have in mind, I do enjoy working with them on the side. I have several contacts if more information is necessary.

Brookdale Farm StandI worked at a local farm stand in my town of Hollis. The employees at the farm have multiple jobs such as cashier, cleaning, stocking the farm stand, and feeding the animals. We were often left with two employees and no supervisor, so we learned to be very self-sufficient. I think this unfortunate situation had taught me many skills that are applicable in the work force. I know how to manage time, knowing when to close depending on how busy we were that day. I learned how to handle tough customers when there was no manager, I was able to direct them to which has taught me how to stay calm and professional. These skills in total will be carried out in whatever profession I pursue, and this gives me an advantage over other students.

Camp NaticookFor summers of 2012-2015, I worked at a co-ed summer camp. I worked as a counselor for a group of kids and do different activities with them. We played sports, did arts and crafts, swam, and participated in other fun games. Being a leader for young children taught me a lot. I had many problematic children that I had to care for, and this (similarly to brookdale) taught me patience and tolerance.

Catering ServerFor several years, I worked with Liz Barbour's Creative Feast company serving at catering events. I worked closely with Liz and other chefs to prepare appetizers, meals, and desserts, and pass them during the party. I thoroughly enjoyed working at these events because it helped me develop great people skills. I felt extremely comfortable making conversation with strangers, and it brought me delight to serve them something that they will enjoy.
