What a beautiful gift it was to have the opportunity to work alongside fellow students through Campus Ministry. This job pushed me to truly incorporate my faith into my entire life, each and every day. The best job I have ever had in my life. The best team I have ever been a part of.
THOMSON REUTERS
As an Inside Sales Intern, I was able to truly see what a career in sales looks like, and how to take care of your clients. I got very used to being told no, but learned persistence and consistency and was able to achieve 127% of my quotas!

CRYSTAL LAKE GOLF COURSE
Working in banquet service, I have honed my communication skills, multi-tasking, customer service, and gained an understanding for event planning and execution. It has been a great example of how important a good team is, especially when working 10-12 hour shifts. We all get a little crazy come 1:00 am. Also, I'm obsessed with golf and can't afford to keep paying for it so I'll work for it.
CHIANTI GRILL
The first job I ever had. Customer service was key, as was communication with teammates and all other staff. Lots of hustle, and a little bit of humor went a long way. This is where I first learned that working with the right people can make any work enjoyable, and that included my younger brother Ryan and my cousin Dylan. Also, I now feel guilty if I ever leave a tip below 20%.
