For two summers, I worked at the Red Cross on Delaware Avenue on a grant-funded program in the HIV/AIDS education unit called the Women’s Initiative Program. I had the opportunity to do, see and learn things that were incredibly eye opening and life altering, My experience there led to a major shift in my academic interests. Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had to date!

University Honors College Summers during college I worked for a home remodeling contractor. I did just about everything, from installing new windows to completely gutting and remodeling a restaurant kitchen, to helping build a house from the ground up. Unlike most summer jobs, the skills I learned and experiences I had during those months have come back to help me again and again as a home owner and DIY-er.

Environment, Health and SafetyI used to work at the Pizza Hut near the Boulevard Mall. There were two huts miles closer to my house, but some friends worked at this location. As the “opener,” I had an hour to myself every morning. I would start the dough mixing and steal a quick nap on the cool, padded vinyl of a dining room booth. When the dough timer dinged, it was time to get up!
