Hi, I’m Hadassah.
I’m excited about the opportunity to join the Cannon Beach Arts Association! My passion for the arts, both personally and within our community, along with my experience in retail, customer service, and nonprofits, makes me a strong fit for the Gallery Assistant position.
Since childhood, art has been an integral part of my life, from drawing and creating music, to learning from my mother, a painter and writer. Through my work in retail and with nonprofits, I’ve developed a unique mix of skills that will help me succeed in this role.
Experience
Haystack Rock Awareness Program
Staff Interpreter: April 2024 - present
Volunteer Interpreter: May 2023 - April 2024
As an Interpreter, I educate and inform visitors in a positive and non-confrontational way about how to approach and enjoy the marine life and keep it from being destroyed. This job requires me to independently manage a specific area of the marine garden and tend to the needs of visitors, while simultaneously being in constant communication with my team.
Cannon Beach Arts Association
Summer Art Camp Staff: July 2024
As an assistant at the Summer Art Camp, I helped with setup and takedown, teaching kids various art skills, and making sure I was someone they could approach if they had questions or problems.
Cleanline Surf
Retail Sales Associate: July 2023 - April 2024
My role as a Retail Sales Associate encompassed delivering excellent customer service, assisting customers with surfboard and wetsuit rentals, managing POS/cashier duties, answering phone calls, store merchandising, and ensuring the store's cleanliness and maintenance. I worked in a fast-paced environment, leveraging my positive attitude, strong work ethic, and multitasking abilities.
North Coast Land Conservancy
Nov 2022, Feb-March 2023
I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work with NCLC and create original artwork to use on several member letters and the 2023 CoastWalk Oregon bandana.
Coaster Theatre
Sep 2019 - present
At the Coaster Theatre I’ve played leading and supporting roles in multiple productions in the last four years. I’ve gained experience listening to others, navigating conflict, adapting to last minute changes, and building the confidence to work outside of my comfort zone. I’ve also served as a counselor for the Coaster Theatre Kidz Camp.
