Experience
Lowe Graham Jones, PLLC June 2015 – September 2014
I was the front desk coordinator for a short time at this downtown Seattle law firm. Responsibilities included
answering the phones, taking messages, greeting customers, setting up and cleaning conference rooms,
gathering, stamping and sorting the mail, using FedEx and other postal services to mail, light file clerk and
docketing work. I was exceptional with the clients and had a phone presence that made callers and
attorney’s alike feel important and at ease with me running their front desk.
Suttell and Hammer P.S. May 2015-June 2015
Responsibilities included electronically filing summons and complaints for the State of Oregon. Those filings
initiated lawsuits for collections on debtor accounts that were delinquent. I was also responsible for dismissing
cases in Washington and Oregon when debtors had finally paid off their bills or a settlement had been
reached. Given the nature of the work, I was entrusted with confidential information on a daily basis. This job
gave me experience in JST and confident in Microsoft Office products. It also solidified my ability to work in a
fast paced environment where organization is critical.
Starbucks Coffee Company October 2014-May 2015
As a barista at the Canyon Park location, I was responsible for taking customer orders, fulfilling orders, letting
my supervisors know if any problems arise. Other responsibilities included maintaining store cleanliness as
necessary. I also learned about the various roasts of coffee that Starbucks offers, and offer customers samples
of our pastries and coffees when asked to do so.

Currently a Senior Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay cosmetics. As an independent contractor I
am responsible for running all aspects of my very own business which includes setting and going to
appointments, taking orders, processing orders, resolving problems, ensuring inventory is up to date, and
handling all of the finances for the business. Now that I have team members I am responsible for mentoring
them as they grow their businesses and setting a good example as to what a consultant should be.
Aramark Inc. Summer 2010-Summer 2014
Worked at the Gorge Amphitheater for the summer of 2010 at various concessions stands in the venue. This
job required that I renew my food handlers’ permit, get TIPS certified, and obtain a Washington State Class 13
Liquor Permit. I worked as a waitress from 2012-2013 in the Box Suites- a VIP experience for the guests. I
obtained my Class 12 Mixologist Permit and worked more closely with the guests. I was promoted to a Stand
Lead, which is considered an entry-level supervisor position. I was responsible for inventory, designating

Skills
I have excellent writing, research, and editing skills. As an undergraduate, I wrote a masters level thesis that
would be able to get published if I so choose. I have experience in a supervisory role from Aramark. I have
had a minor internship at a law firm for college credit when I was an undergraduate that gave me
experience in an office setting. Some of my responsibilities included maintaining files, drafting
correspondence, and filing documents at the courthouse. As a business owner, I am have gained multi-
tasking, organizational, very basic accounting skills, and the ability to relate to people from all backgrounds.
At my position in the law firm I gained more experience in computer application programs, and a stronger
ability to do handle a high volume workload. I would consider myself proficient with both Windows and Mac
operating systems and to have excellent customer service skills.
