I get to do what I love with a great group of people
Tell us what got you into Upshift?
I had a friend who joined the platform and recommended that I give it a try. I signed up in January, 2023 but wasn’t sure how much I would use the app. Several months later, I went through a big life change and Upshift allowed me to pick up shifts at a time when I really needed it. I’ve been picking up shifts consistently since then.
What do you do outside of work?
When I’m not working, I really enjoy cooking and traveling. You’ll usually find me behind the grill cooking up my favorite dishes at different events with family and friends. I also love to travel to new places. I recently went to Puerto Rico and it was absolutely incredible.

Do you have any advice for new Upshifters?
You may not be used to working on an app but it’s really a great opportunity. I came in with an open mind and was able to find shifts that fit my skill sets. There are a lot of great shifts out there so look out for the ones that interest you the most.
What has your experience been like on Upshift?
Since joining the platform, I’ve worked a variety cooking positions at different venues like a casino, zoo, hotel and medical center. I had years of cooking experience before joining Upshift so these shifts were the perfect fit for me. My favorite place to work has been at Morrison Healthcare @ UC Medical Center. I’ve built a great relationship with the team there.
