WORK EXPERIENCE
Interviewer/Personal Assistant
Upon graduating high school, I had the opportunity to serve as an Interviewer and Personal Assistant for international music artists in Prague, Czech Republic. I supported artists by coordinating transportation to and from the airport, escorting them between hotels and concert venues, and assisting with on-site logistics during live events. In addition, I conducted artist interviews, including an interview with Key Glock, and supported event operations by managing ticket distribution and sales. This role required strong organizational skills, professionalism, discretion, and the ability to work effectively in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.
Freelance Photography
During my time as a freelance photographer, I collaborated with Czech and Slovak influencers, including actress Anička Dvořáková and artist Grey256. I captured promotional and lifestyle photography tailored for digital platforms, working closely with clients to align visual storytelling with their personal brand and audience.
Communication’s Intern
As a Communications Intern with Hays County Government, I support countywide communications across digital, media, and public-facing platforms. My responsibilities include drafting and editing press releases for the county blog, managing website updates, and overseeing social media content and daily platform management. I create original photography, videography, graphic designs, and craft monthly internal newsletters to support county initiatives, events, and employee engagement.
I track and analyze social media performance to inform content strategy and drive audience growth, collaborate with communications professionals across multiple departments, and contribute to cohesive messaging countywide. During my internship, I transitioned from the Human Resources Department to the Administration Department, expanding my role and responsibilities. I regularly attend and document Commissioners Court meetings and have served as a media contact for county initiatives and public events.
FIRST
PROJECT
During the summer of 2022, I completed an international internship in Prague as a Journalism and Communications Intern with POPOUT SHOWS. I served as the lead interviewer for international and local artists, including Key Glock, DJ Memphis, and multiple Czech rap artists, conducting on-camera interviews and supporting content creation. In addition to media responsibilities, I collaborated with concert management teams on event operations, including merchandise sales, ticket distribution, and on-site artist support. I also worked directly with artists as a personal assistant, coordinating transportation and assisting with day-of logistics in a fast-paced, live-event environment.
