Professional Experience

Student worker at University of Oregon Knight LibraryMy duties at the Knight Library are to ensure that professors and students from the U of O and other affiliated libraries find the necessary books and articles to complete their work. If the book is not in our library I assist them in finding it from another. In addition I find, scan, and photoshop articles for academic research for patrons from around the globe.

Lead at Willow Glen Frozen Yogurt, San JoseAs shift lead I was entrusted with ensuring with running and managing the shop in the absence of the owner and manager.

Along side the owner a menu was crafted and the store, tent, and transport vans organized in a manner that organized, efficient, and safe.

The Bento Box is a coffee table and writing desk for the contemporary urbanite. It is low like a coffee table yet has the stor-age and function of a desk. It is for the indi-vidual who prefers working sitting on the floor rather than in a chair. The top is surface is removalble and slids back and fourth to either expose one side hiding the other.
