Work Experience & Internships

The Washington Post, Editorial Aide at The Root DC
Updating The Root DC's Facebook and Twitter pages is my main task. I post links and photographs from recent content on the sites. I also engage with readers/followers on the sites by asking related questions to the content and re-sharing their thoughts. At times, I also edit and post articles to the Web.
May 2012 - Aug. 2012 :
Banana Republic, Sales Associate
Assisting customers on the floor was my main task. I greeted customers as they came into the store, escorted them to fitting rooms and recommended other clothing options to them if their desired options did not fit and/or could not be found in the store.

Feb. 2012 - Aug. 2012 :
WHYY, Volunteer
Completing research and write-ups for the Arts Calendar on WHYY’s
NewsWorks.org website was my main task. Robin Bloom, my coordinator,
gave me press releases on activities in the area and I would write
summaries about them, which would then be posted on the site.
Sept. 2011 - Dec. 2011 :
Publishing news stories was my main task. The
PhiladelphiaNeighborhoods.com portion was a 4-credit class I took at
Temple University. However, I was asked to find stories, conduct
interviews, record sound, take photographs, produce and edit videos, and
post complete packages online for both sites. The beat I covered was
Northeast Philadelphia.
July 2009 - Sept. 2010 :
Department of Veterans Affairs, Claims Assistant
Filing paperwork for retired and/or deceased veterans was my main task. I
was appointed a stack of paperwork each night and was asked to enter
the veterans’ information into a program called CapturePoint, which
contained the veterans’ scanned documents. I did not scan the documents
myself, but I did verify that all of the correct documentation was
scanned and placed into the appropriate online folder.
Sept. 2008 - May 2009 :
Saint Joseph's University, Student Worker at Instructional Technology & Distance Learning (ITDL)
Scheduling presentations for professors was my main task. I answered phone calls and carried equipment, such as laptops and projectors, to various classrooms. I used a program called WebCheck-out, developed by ITDL, to schedule the presentations.
July 2006 – Oct. 2009 :
JCPenney, Customer Service Associate
Completing transactions was my main task. I assisted customers on the floor, if they could not find the item(s) they were looking for. I ordered items through the Catalog, if their desired items were not in the store. A touchscreen computer was used for transactions.
