I assist Mr. Will in his marketing by looking up and using the exel program to view the list of potential clients and then mailing touch cards to each of them personally. I assist in his promotions held for every holiday or seasonal event. I have also helped during his showings of client property by working as a face painter for children visiting the sites. I am currently assisting as needed throughout the year.

I started out with a fun invitation to assist a family friend at a festival with face painting. I soon developed my own talent and began face painting during large venues held in my small town. I soon realized the parents loved my artistic ability and I began to grow in my speed and accuracy with painting the many children that would come to my table during events. I began advertising and buying better marketing tools to grow my business. Now I am found at many public large festivals and parents and children seek me out. I attend corporate family parties, birthday parties, and even the Mobile, Al. marketing director for the Bel Air Mall hired me for the family days event they hold yearly. I love art and the ability to show case my art during my face painting events. I still currently attend events and book parties. I will continue during my school years at Troy.

My job was a volunteer Peer leader for public school students attending the science program held at Camp Baldwin under the direction of Rusty Davidson. I was required to prep the classroom supplies, feed and keep the animals healthy, set up each demonstration site as well as learn the curriculum. This prepared me to teach the attending groups the subject of study they were signed up to participate with. This was a young level science program with a creation aspect taught in a Christian camp ground. We had many teen leaders assisting with each group and it was operating year round . I would attend each 2 or 3 day event as I was able to fit it into my educational year. I assisted in the kitchen with clean up and with the registration of each participating student making sure all supplies were handed out to each one as the program began.
