My current project at Milla Jane is to build brand awareness through blog management, video production, and further social media identity. Milla Jane is an up-and-coming photography studio in Springfield, MO.

As a stylist for Ann, an emphasis on goal setting and developing client relationships is the center of my job. Considering professional dress and appearance is not only important to clients, but to me as a staff member as well.

Starting as a hostess, I worked my way into a serving position where my responsibilites consisted of opening and closing duties, as well as serving my assigned section of the restaurant. Special attention to efficiency and customer service was imperative. During the Summer of 2012, I was asked to produce a 5 minute video for the Springfield location's entry piece to the Texas Roadhouse Line Dancing competition. I used a Canon Rebel to shoot the film, and Final Cut Pro editing software.

My internship consisted of drafting news releases and completing an updated, Springfield-area media contact list, further creating an online social networking presence using Facebook and Twitter, and researching product donation values, keeping inventory for those donations, and writing Thank You letter to donors.

Working with up to $18,000 in my personal drawer at a time, my responsibilities consisted of opening and closing duties, as well as developing personal relationships with our customers in order to better serve their banking needs.
