Education
Perpich Center for Arts Education, 6125 Olson Mem Hwy, Golden Valley, MN 55422 — High School Diploma
August 2022 - May 2024
Perpich provided many artistic opportunities for students. I completed my junior and senior year in the Literary Arts track. Every Monday through Friday I spent three hours a day studying literature and writing poetry, short stories, and research essays. I diversified my palette and learned new perspectives and experiences through the lens of narrative reading.
St. Catherine University, 2004 Randolph Ave St. Paul MN, 55105 — Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design
August 2024 - PRESENT
At St. Kate’s I am able to foster a community with fellow students. I enjoy academic challenges that push me to find conclusions. When I graduate, I want to pursue an MFA in Creative Writing and Publishing.
Experience
Magers & Quinn, 3038 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55408— Bookseller, Events
June 2022 - PRESENT
At Magers & Quinn, I hold many responsibilities. I organize and stock shelves, enter books into our system, check people out, answer the phone, and help customers when they have a question. I have learned valuable customer service skills, including communication, problem solving, and leadership.
St. Catherine University Library, 2004 Randolph Ave St. Paul MN, 55105
July 2025 - PRESENT
My position at the St Catherine University Library allows me to interact face to face with students and librarians. I am expected to answer the questions presented to me by patrons, know the resources the library offers, and understand the inner workings of our library’s system. Problem solving is a large part of my work, as well as shelving and ensuring that our books are in the proper Library of Congress Classification order. I handle checking books in and out, finding books that have been requested, and filing paperwork for books that have been shipped to us from other libraries. Keeping the library tidy is another responsibility, as I clean our whiteboards, wipe down tables, and push in chairs when students are done using them.
Volunteering at The Loft Literary Center, 1011 Washington Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55415— 2023 - PRESENT
The Loft Literary Center offers a range of educational panels and classes for writers and artists in Minneapolis. I first started volunteering for them in my junior year of high school. Though it is not a regular occurrence, I try to help out wherever and whenever I have the availability. Usually, I aid them in packing envelopes and stamping them to be sent out to subscribers and supporters. This position has taught me the value of community projects and showing up for your team.
Internship with Critical Review at Hennepin Arts, 800 La Salle Ave Suite 1030, Minneapolis, MN 55402— August 2024 - PRESENT
Critical Review is a program that recruits students to see live shows at the Orpheum theater and write reviews about their experiences. I started as a student for the program as a senior in high school. Afterward, I adored the community so much that I applied to be an intern. My job description includes reading the student reviews and providing constructive criticism on how they might improve their writing. I chaperone the live performances to ensure students’ safety and take attendance when needed.
