| Dave's Remodeling, McKees Rocks, PA, Laborer, May, 2005 - Present |

| Pittsburgh Pirates, Pittsburgh, PA, Guest Services Representative, April, 2008 - September, 2008 |
- As a guest services representative with the Pittsburgh Pirates, I was able to gain access to the behind-the-scenes operations of a professional sports team on a daily basis. Aside from performing my own duties, which consisted of handling consumer questions and comments, as well as helping with the overall operations on game days, I was able to develop a respect and understanding for what it takes to produce major league events consistently and efficiently. I developed a newfound sense of admiration for those who go unnoticed, or unappreciated, in the sports world.

| Robert Morris University Sentry Newspaper, Moon Township, PA, Sports Editor, January, 2010 - Present |
- After three years of contributing articles and helping shape the sports section of the Robert Morris University student newspaper, I was finally able to take the reigns as the editor of the sports section. It's my job to assign articles and ideas to other student writers and to edit and mold their work into print-suitable material. I also continue to attend campus sporting events and write my own pieces for the paper. I have, in my opinion, transformed the sports section from a strictly game reporting-style section into one composed of a mix of reports, features and opinions.

Creating articles pertaining to national and local level sports and athletes, and publishing them to the website, I've been able to recieve, as well as contribute, feedback and suggestions from other readers and writers.
