Summary
I have been working since the end of my freshman year of high school as a lifeguard. I have worked four different lifeguard jobs and each one has taught me many things. Patience, quick reaction times, and attentiveness to name a few. I am certified as a lifeguard, as well as in CPR/AED and first aid. I work well with others especially since I have had four lifeguarding jobs.
Working as a summer employee at the Black River Falls State Forest gave me a lot of experience. I talked to people, confronting them about things in a nice way, helped people when they needed it, taken care of wasps nests so they didn't harm others, cleaned bathrooms and campsites, and overall make the campground a great place to be.
