Experience

Here are companies I’ve worked for.

Texas Roadhouse

Marketing 2023-24

I had the privilege of working under Faith Leos, the head Store Marketer at the Fort Collins Texas Roadhouse. Through her guidance, I learned the profound value of connecting a global brand to its local community through thoughtful outreach initiatives.

This experience reshaped my perspective on business-to-business relationships, highlighting the importance of genuine, human connections. The business owners and employees of Fort Collins exemplify the joy and mutual support that come from building meaningful partnerships.

Serving & More 2019-21 & 2023-Present

Outside of marketing, I have developed strong business-to-consumer relationship-building skills. Through over three years of experience serving, hosting, and training at Texas Roadhouse, I’ve gained valuable expertise in meeting customer needs while introducing new employees to company values and best practices.

Graduated Hope Inc.

Social Media Management 2022

It was an honor to assist my grandparents in establishing an online presence for their Colorado Springs-based non-profit, Graduated Hope.

My primary objective was to design a cohesive website and develop social media pages to enhance their visibility and support their mission of providing housing solutions for those in need.

160 Driving Academy

Real Estate Assistant 2022

During my time at 160 Driving Academy, I honed skills in time management, scheduling, and organizing critical business information.

Serving as the primary contact for landlords across 100+ locations nationwide, I was responsible for coordinating communications and operations across multiple time zones.
