Years of professional experience
Spencer K. Hughes
Stone Harbor,New Jersey
Summary
I have history of work in the public services sector following a 2019 campaign to be a member Stone Harbor's city council. Experiences working at the Cape May County Technical High School influenced me deeply and taught me so much patience and compassion for others. Ensuring the safety and understanding of over 60 high school students gave me leadership skills and taught me tools to assist those with diverse learning abilities. I've spent time in roles gathering data for government agencies as well as conduction surveys, analysis, compliance with NJ state and Federal standards across the maritime industry in South Jersey. Cape May County is my home and whether it's teaching youth about the wonders of NJ estuaries systems or conducting safety inspection for water parks, beaches, and other public places, I want to leave my mark and keep our home a beautiful safe place to live.
