Apprentice General Manager, Chipotle Mexican Grill (2022)
I started my first job at Chipotle.
Within my time there, I rose to Kitchen Leader, Service Leader, & Apprentice General Manager swiftly.
I learned to commit my loyALTY, curiosity & DEDICATION TO CULTIVATING A BETTER WORLD, IMPROVING MY RESTAURANT, DEVELOPING MY PEOPLE, AND MAXIMIZING MY STORE'S POTENTIAL.
I also learned to network with leaders across the company, and met General Managers across subregions to improve my skillset and bring them home.

Multimedia Creator, Rolling Meadows High School (2021)
During my High School tenure, I worked with my media tech class to develop promotional content across clubs & announcements.
I also worked with local broadcasters RDLav as a camera man to livestream a hockey game, as well as the livestream team at the high school to broadcast other events.
During this time, I also attempted a short film project called "High Class School", a comedic high school TV pilot about Jessie Gray, a rich California girl, moving to Chicago & learning to fit in after her family's wealth unexpectedly ended. This project involved me learning about insurances, payroll, casting, producing & more. Maybe one day, I'll bring this project back.
This is also the time I had learned a bit more about cinematography & color
As my teenage years were coming to an end, this adventure slowed to an end as I learned to commit more time & energy into my first job, Chipotle.
gaming Content Creator, Xythereon (2017)
During middle school, I enjoyed watching gaming creator, Ceeday, and his Fortnite video content for his unique editing style of comedic sound effects matched with gaming content.
In May 2017, I created SomeRadDude, later renamed to Xythereon, a gaming creator on live platforms like Twitch, with occasional video content
During this time, I made video edits for Cursed Ascension (esport Org), and Colin Madden, known by his persona "Foreal".
I also designed, manufactured & sold merchandise across the nation through an online store to the Xythereon community out of my high school, including hiring another student as an independent contractor.
