Work History

1 Year 4 Months- Managed students and lifeguarded patrons at the PEIF rec center.
- NMU Rec Sports End of Semester Awards Banquet. I was awarded the wildcat award by my directors. As an employee I have a knack for connecting with students and patrons throughout the facility who come from all walks of life. Created an inviting atmosphere at rec center through effective communication and independent problem-solving skills. I never showed up late or ever called in for work. I am always a dependable and hard-working employee who is motivated for challenges.
- Assisted in coordinating student events and activities to enhance campus engagement.

Food Runner
1 Year 3 Months- During COVID-19, worked for Vangos Food, running orders to people's cars who placed pickup orders by phone. It was interesting adapting to the changes, as I was going through my Freshman year of High School. I obviously had to wear a mask, and half the restaurant was closed off due to the CDC guidelines for restaurants and social distancing.

Community Service
Jacobetti Home for Veterans, My mother used to work at the Jacobetti Home for Veterans, and they would host a yearly fair-like activity in the summer on a nice day. I helped set up carnival-like games and food for the Veterans. I knew some of them from my mother, who had previously introduced me to them, and every time I shook their hand, they had a bright smile. They always had something nice to say about my mom or me. They liked seeing a younger guy like me around because it might remind them of themselves when they were young and make them feel a little younger again. During Christmas time, I would go over to the lower level and play Christmas music like Deck the Halls, O Christmas Tree, and more on the Piano. I was always nervous to play in front of others, but it felt like such a comfortable environment at the Veterans homes. They always cheered for me when I finished a song. I felt good about myself and what I was doing for others.
AWARDS, HONORS, AND HONORARY MENTIONS
I was part of my high school (NJHS) National Junior Honor Society, Kaufman award, Academic All-State Team Award, basketball team, Most Improved Baseball Award., Varsity, and JV football captain
