Relevant Experience
Zig Ziglar Inc.
March 2013 - Present
Intern
• Since Zig’s death in November of 2012 Ziglar Inc. has been facing an era of rebranding. I have been included
in this process to assist with the redevelopment of their social media content and launch of their new website.
• I have also been included in the development of the Ziglar Sales Program Workbook. When completed, the
workbook will stand alone as Ziglar sales training tool.
• Zig Ziglar is one of my mentors because he conducted himself in a manner that was consistent with his
mission. My favorite Zig quote is “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough
other people get what they want.”

Retail Supervisor (Roanoke)

cream and Hawaiian Falls merchandise.

to teach and show the employees about servant leadership.
• By the end of the summer the Roanoke retail shop generated more income than all other Hawaiian Falls retail
shops combined.
Food and Beverage Supervisor (Roanoke)
• Many conflicts arose while working with teenagers in a high-stress environment like a kitchen. I took this

• During the summer the average wait time was decreased by three minutes at the Roanoke kitchen.

About Me
I am currently studying the Book of Matthew and becoming an expert on the servant leadership style of Jesus. This
book is important to me because it illustrates the importance of putting other first.
I have always been an athlete and was the captain of multiple sports teams including Basketball, Football and Track.
This interest in athletics has driven a passion for fitness and nutrition. This passion requires the discipline to execute
exercise routines and complexed meal plans.
I have an interest in technology and I pride myself on being tech-savvy and my ability to troubleshoot any
technology dilemmas.
