I worked with a team of five to help restore the native prairies and vegetation across the Midwest region. It was interesting and labor intensive work! In my first two weeks of training, I learned all kinds of things including how to identify non-native species of grass, shrubs, and trees and how to safely wield tools such as chain saws, brush cutters, axes, and pickaxes. Most importantly, I learned what it really is to be a part of a team that supports you, and looks to you for support.

At the Duty Free, I assisted customers find whatever items they were looking for, handed out purchased goods in accordance with Duty-Free regulations, and walked customers that did not arrive in a vehicle to the Rainbow Bridge. I also unloaded shipments, stocked shelves, managed store cleanliness, and helped with store displays. Working in Canada at the store overlooking the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls was very busy but also a lot of fun. It was really interesting to learn about various products, share information with customers, and try to help people despite language and cultural differences.
