Work Experience

Bismarck State College ~ Mystic Media Staff (Sept 2024 - Present)
 While taking communication classes in college, I am working on the student media staff as content editor for the monthly newspaper publication. I make sure ideas in articles are coherent and check the grammar, spelling, and punctuation of submitted works. I also report and write articles as well.

Self-Employed ~ Piano Teacher (Jan 2023 - June 2024)
I taught piano lessons to children under the age of 12 during my high school years. After starting with three students, I ended up with 15 students in total, including one adult as well. At the end of the year I held a piano recital for my students.

I worked as a hockey referee and helped lines hockey games as well.

Bock & Company Law Office ~ Receptionist (July 2023 - August 2023)
I worked as a receptionist at a law office. My work included answering phone calls, setting up appointments, getting files ready for appointments, and helping file around the office as well.

Rocanville Pharmacy ~ Customer Service (Jan 2022 - June 2023)
I worked as a cashier at my hometown's pharmacy. I worked through a transition period as the business was being sold and moved to new ownership. Jobs included cleaning, working the till, helping customers find items, and stocking shelves.

Fafard Farm ~ Farmhand (Jan 2011 - August 2024)
I have worked on my family's farm since I was old enough to. I have helped with animal chores, driving machinery, and other projects such as setting up fence or lawn mowing.
