I worked as the lead in the dish room. By strategically placing employees, I maximized efficient cleaning practices while meeting the needs of 1,000 people per meal. I acted as the voice of the dish room, communicating to the manager what we needed to fulfill our job.

I would take apart the interior of the cars and I would organize all the car parts on the shelves. I helped to take out engines and transmissions from cars.

I tutored peers and younger students from pre-algebra to calculus. One of which was a boy with special needs whose grades improved from failing to A's.

I worked at a climbing gym where I would lead parties for kids, teaching them how to climb and belay. I would teach people how to top rope belay and test their skills. I would also work the front desk checking people in and renting out gear.
