Summary
Driven by a passion for fostering growth and engagement, I leveraged problem-solving and positive engagement skills in daily life, as well as in my job as a Camp Counselor to significantly enhance camper experience. My ability to lead campers and communicate effectively resulted in a notable increase in both camper participation and satisfaction among peers, showcasing dedication to achieving impactful results through creative and energetic leadership. Along with being a Camp Counselor, I put these same attributes into action as a Volunteer at various organizations within my community, putting a positive impact on those I interact with.
