Beach Lifeguard II | 04/2011 - 01/2023

As a beach lifeguard I am expected to respond efficiently and effectively to emergency situations in the water and on the beach. This varies from in water rescues to medical aids on the sand. I educate the public on local knowledge, beach safety, and answer various questions they have. Being a beach lifeguard has taught me great customer service skills, the ability to realize the big picture, and how to always come to work prepared.

Intern | 01/2015 - 05/2015

Through my time at the Boys and Girls Club, I worked to enable all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. I worked on the floor with the kids and led them in different activities. I assisted in their biggest event of the year, The Valentines Gala, which raised $120,000 for the organization. During this event, I managed 40-50 volunteers on set up and tear down of the hall, job assignments and delegating tasks, and managing all volunteers during the event.

Swim Coach | 05/2009 - 04/2011

I worked along side the head coach instructing kids ages 5-18 on stroke and diving technique, conditioning, and sprints. I often led practices alone as the head coach and worked with up to 100 kids. My time as a coach allowed me to learn better customer service and communication skills with parents and children, how to run a team, and how to always maintain a positive attitude.
