Summary

I am a dynamic leader and communicator with proven expertise in group supervision and conflict resolution, honed at Navigators as a Camp Counselor. Excelled in creating inclusive environments, also I learned how to enhance customer satisfaction at Roberts By The Lake. I also demonstrated exceptional teamwork and adaptability, significantly improving camp morale and dining efficiency. I am an enthusiastic Camp Counselor in charge of directing camp activities and helping school-aged children develop confidence and achieve life goals, and learn about Christianity. I am skilled at planning, executing and supervising activities including arts, sports and water events. I have also gained strong interpersonal communication abilities that encourage fun while sustaining camp missions, while being hardworking and passionate about my job. I am eager to secure an entry-level Phlebotomist position, and I am ready to help team achieve company goals.
