In my position as a Special Education Paraprofessional, I assisted students with special educational need with various tasks they needed to accomplish at school. This job required an ability to quickly adapt to a changing environment, and the ability to be flexible when plans were changed. I helped students learn by reinforcing positive behaviors, adapting assignments to the individual student's needs, and through good communication. I was also responsible for de-escalating confrontations while ensuring mutual respect.

My position as Lead Staff was fairly straight forward. I essentially acted at the assistant director of the program. I worked collaboratively with the director of the program to ensure that our after school program ran smoothly. This included duties such as office work, parent communication, staff supervision, student supervision, safety management, developing programming and also facilitating both small and large group activities. I also took the initiative to plan, lead and manage the staff at the branch-off programs at the YMCA over Spring and Winter school breaks.

As the Assistant Summer Program Director, I assisted the Summer Program Director with supervision of both the staff and campers. The camps that were taught were mainly rifle and hunting safety classes, which required a lot of facilitation and management skills to ensure the safety of all participants.
