As an assistant summer camp instructor at DEAN Adventure Camp, I split my time between the culinary and early childhood programs, providing engaging experiences for young campers. In the kitchen, I guided small groups through hands-on cooking activities, fostering creativity and basic culinary skills. Outside of our culinary adventures, I facilitated age-appropriate games and educational activities, ensuring a balance of learning and active play throughout the camp day.

I completed a summer internship at an indoor vertical farm that uses robotics and automation to grow organic produce for the local community. My duties included seeding, transplanting, and harvesting crops using both manual and automated methods. The experience provided valuable insights into modern agricultural practices, including crop planning, plant biology, farm design, and soil science.
