The gym recently closed (as of April, 2025). Prior to closing, I:

• Managed staff
• Coached several weekly youth and adult classes
• Was responsible for managing groups of 400+ people (instructing, belaying, etc.)
• Led parties and large events such as Bar/Bat Mitzvahs
• Opened and closed the facility, where I was responsible for all cleaning
• Led staff training and belay workshops
• Led orientations and belay certifications

I only work summers, where I:

• Handle/clean/feed corals
• Complete water chemistry
• Clean and organize the laboratory
• Participate in dive trips where we remove garbage from the ocean
• Educate the youth (of Haiti, the Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, Turks and Caicos, and several other countries) on coral endangerment and swim safety
• Teach free swim and snorkeling lessons using donated resources

I regularly volunteer as a team member of the organization. In the past, I have:

• Initiated an independent fundraiser
• Single-handedly raised $3,500
• Started my own coat drive, where coats were distributed throughout the United States
• Participated in dozens of fundraisers and food/clothing drives

I only work summers, where I:

• Foster litters of puppies
• Help with bathing and feeding
• Help with cleaning and organizing the facility
• Walk dogs
• In the past, my family and I have also helped courier some of these dogs to different countries.
