Work History
Lifeguard, Pool Manager, and Co-teacher

06.2024 - Current
- I worked at Allentown Splash, Tennis, and Fitness Park for more than a year and instantly worked my way up.
- My personality, outspoken opinions, and connections to the patrons and staff/crew made me a pool manager within 5 months of me working there.
- I was one of the few people to work there for a few months and become a manager after others have been there for years and don’t even come close.
- I loved building my people skills and learning how to handle myself in an environment that was very positive and fun to be around even if there was some toxicity with the facility managers which is the main reason I decided to leave and focus on another pool where it's all love and positivity.
- Monitored pool activities to ensure safety and compliance with facility regulations.
- Provided first aid and emergency response during incidents at aquatic facilities.
- Conducted routine safety checks on pool equipment and rescue tools.
- Educated patrons about water safety rules and proper swimming techniques.
