Summary

While I have experienced many different jobs and leadership positions, I have learned and obtained different skills that not only help me in performing well in that job, but also in my academics and every day life. Working in customer service has improved my communication skills as well as my problem solving skills. I am also comfortable working in fast-paced and slow-paced environments. Lifeguarding and swim coaching has given me the opportunity to work alongside children learning new skills, which in turn has helped me develop patience, enthusiasm, and adaptation.
