Co-Founder - New York Relic
March - August 2020

On March 1, 2020, a new bag waste reduction law took effect in New York State - where over 23 billion plastic bags are used each year. Plastic bag usage affects both our communities and environment. They can be seen stuck in trees, as litter in our neighborhoods, and floating in our waterways. My brothers and I started New York Relic in the wake of the ban with the mission to provide reusable carry bags inspired by the iconic designs found on the plastic bags of New York. On top of pursuing my degree and rowing, we have been working around the clock fulfilling orders, creating designs, and utilizing social media for guerilla marketing.

General Construction Worker - Von Gunten Elektro AG
Summer 2018 & 2019

In order to finance my rowing training and competing in Switzerland I worked construction whilst attending practice in the evenings. The construction site forced me to adapt quickly and learn different jobs all the while communicating in German where I initially had limited proficiency. This was often challenging and I had to learn how to problem solve quickly, not just to complete specific tasks, but also to manage my relationships with my supervisors and co-workers who were not necessarily understanding of my situation. I worked on a variety of contracting jobs including electrical wiring installations, minor demolitions, insulation, Stonemasonry and others. Much of the work was incredibly labor intensive and reuqired me to constantly think on my feet when things did not go to plan. This experience taught me a lot when it comes to improvising and making the most of the resources at my disposal - skills that I have utilized in all aspects of my professional career.
