As the Assistant Director, I worked closely with the Camp Director to ensure that all events ran smoothly. My primary responsibilities were speaking with parents, answering incoming phone call inquires and emails, and managing social media outreach through Facebook. I was also responsible for all arts and crafts related activities and lesson plan creation during the summer. I took responsibility daily for the health, well-being, and happiness of campers aged from five years old to 13 years old.

2013 through Present
Swirls Face Painting Owner/Operator and Artist/ Birmingham, Alabama
I am the owner and operator of a sole proprietary business as a professional face painter. Starting out with airbrush art for NFL and NHL games in Nashville, Tennessee, I am now a seasoned brush and water-activated painter for face and body art. This business serves all types of events, but is typically hired out for Birthday parties, sporting events, and school days. As a professional face painter, I have had to develop my skills as an artist as well as a manager, taking classes to enhance my understanding of licensing, taxes, and contracting. I am currently listed as one of the top three face painters in Alabama and hold a five-star rating on every platform that allows reviews.

I supported the School Age Center with planning and coordinating activities within the program, creating Art Room Lesson plans, and decoration for the center. I worked closely with each child and family members to ensure lasting connections were made and that appropriate growth was being addressed. For the School Age Center, I helped with ordering supplies, front desk admin duties, and daily records management.
