As a college student, I have gained valuable experience across various industries and developed a diverse skill set. During my time at "Here We Grow Daycare," I learned how to and used my interpersonal skills and childcare experience while providing a nurturing environment for children. At "Kona Ice," I learned the importance of customer service and teamwork in a fast-paced setting. My job at a local butcher shop "Brown and Budnick" allowed me to acquire knowledge about meat processing and customer relations. Additionally, at "Microworks Computer Company," I gained technical skills in computer troubleshooting and support as well as learning about product marketing. These experiences have not only broadened my industry exposure but have also equipped me with strong communication, teamwork, and technical skills that I'm eager to apply in future jobs and learn more about.

Buddy Ball

This is something that is only ran in my town but it is so rewarding. We simulate a game where athletes that have disabilities can play softball. We simulate a shorter game with a pitcher and catcher that are volunteers so all participants can have a fair chance. I was a teammate for a participant when in the field and batting.
AmpSurf
May 2015 - Present
This is an organization that travels along the coast that creates the possibly for amputees and other participants that don't get to go to the beach the option to either swim or surf with a "buddy". I was a buddy for this and took the participants into the water to bring them to a main instructor so they had the ability to catch a wave. I also was a "catcher" where I stood at the base of the water to retrieve the participant with the oncoming waves hitting them.
SASN
April 2020 - Present
This is a new organization that gives the special needs community is the Salem New Hampshire area a chance to go out into the community and experience different things they might not be able to with there friends. I act as a buddy for this too and am just a friend when I go to these events. For example this organization took 40 members tubing down the Saco River. This is an experience most would not be able to get without this organization.
