Summary
As a proactive Lifeguard at Harry McDonough Sailing Center, I honed my first responder skills, including First Aid and CPR, ensuring guest safety and providing exemplary customer service. My leadership qualities and strong communication skills, coupled with a lifeguard certification, highlight my readiness to tackle challenges and contribute effectively to any team. I am excited to work and more importantly to learn. I am a quick leaner and a hard worker. I take my work very seriously and have a driven mindset when it comes to achieving tasks and getting work done. When it comes to media I enjoy I take pride in the work that I do. Taking pictures has always been a passion of mine. So combining it with media and marketing has been a fun way to connect what I love with an occupation.
