Work History

Camp Counselor

SMArt Summer
Wilmington, DE
06.2023 - 08.2024
  • As a paid counselor for the SMArt summer camp (hosted by Cab Calloway School of the Arts), I worked for 6 weeks each summer from 7am-5:30pm. My primary role was to take care of the kids (ages 1st-8th grade), supervise their behavior, and to help the teachers/admin with tasks. I also worked in the theater tech department regularly to make sure the camps and weekly showcases ran smoothly.
  • I frequently worked with individual kids who had more behavior issues or arguments to help them pay attention and problem solve appropriately.
  • This job taught me a lot about responsibility and attention to detail because if any small thing went wrong with equipment or systems, it meant kids could be hurt or lost.
  • Working with kids for extended periods of time also taught me a lot about empathy, since I had to put myself in the kids' shoes to understand what was making them upset and how I could fix it or help them.

Theater Technician

Cab Calloway School of the Arts
Wilmington , DE
09.2022 - 08.2024
  • Accumulated around 750 hours of volunteer work over the 2 school years I worked as a theater technician.
  • Learned how to set up and operate many different pieces of theater equipment, such as fly systems, microphones, saws, hazers, and basic lighting components.
  • Built multiple large sets for school plays and musicals.
  • Helped set up and run school district board meetings.
  • Helped set up and run school plays, musicals, dances, and external events hosted by our theater.
  • This job taught me a lot about leadership and working with other people because, in order to accomplish all the necessary tasks during a production, there needed to be strong communication and participation from all members involved.
  • This job taught me a lot about precision and preparation because, in order to run a multi-hour show with mic changes, curtain movements, set pieces, etc., I had to know what was coming next at all times and know exactly how to deal with it, in order to keep the show seamless from an audience perspective.
  • Precision and attention to detail also came into play a large amount during the construction phases of the shows. Some sets I constructed were large enough to cover the whole stage, while other times, I was adding fine details to a desk to make it look older. Regardless of the size of the set, I had to carefully select the materials I was going to use, draw a blueprint of my ideas, and then calculate measurements. Only after I was confident in the precision of my plans, would I be able to start building in order to avoid wasted time and materials.

Camp Counselor Volunteer

SMArt Summer
Wilmington, DE
06.2022 - 08.2022
  • My first summer working at SMArt Summer, I volunteered for about 4 weeks as a camp counselor.
  • Position is the exact same as my previously described paid role.
  • The summer I volunteered here, I received the Gold Presidential Volunteer Service Award.
  • I was invited to be on the payroll for the next two summers as a result of how well I was able to get along with and look after the children while in a volunteer position.
