This role has strengthened my ability to work in fast-paced environments, communicate effectively with diverse clients, and manage responsibilities both on and off the water.
Led guided jet ski tours, providing guests with a safe and engaging experience, while educating them about local marine ecosystems and wildlife. Ensured adherence to safety protocols, conducted pre-tour safety briefings, and assisted guests of varying experience levels in operating jet skis. Utilized strong communication and leadership skills to navigate diverse weather conditions and group dynamics. Engaged in basic watercraft maintenance and emergency response procedures to ensure smooth tour operations. Developed a deep knowledge of the area’s waterways, tides, and marine conservation efforts to enhance the guest experience.
I lead educational tours focused on coral reef and mangrove ecosystems, providing visitors with insights into their ecological importance, and the challenges they face due to climate change and human activity. I educate guests on sustainable practices, marine biodiversity, and habitat conservation while facilitating snorkeling excursions and field observations. In addition to guiding, I actively participate in conservation initiatives, including mangrove restoration projects, and coral monitoring efforts. My role also extends to assisting in shark research, where I contribute to tagging, data collection, and behavioral studies aimed at understanding population dynamics, and conservation strategies. Through these experiences, I have developed strong communication skills, field research techniques, and a deep commitment to marine conservation.
I was responsible for maintaining the course's landscape to ensure optimal playing conditions. My tasks included mowing fairways and greens, repairing divots, managing irrigation systems, and assisting with general upkeep. The job required early mornings, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic to keep the course in top condition for players. Through this experience, I developed a greater appreciation for environmental maintenance, as well as problem-solving skills when dealing with unexpected weather conditions, or equipment malfunctions. Working outdoors in a physically demanding role also reinforced my ability to adapt and stay disciplined.
