As a Day Camp Counselor, I led a group of 10 children aged 6 to 14 through a variety of outdoor and educational activities at Emma Long Park in Austin, Texas. I guided hikes, taught essential life skills—including social-emotional learning, teamwork, and problem-solving—and facilitated activities such as camping, archery, swimming, and crafts. Additionally, I delivered four weekly STEAM-based lessons, incorporating hands-on projects that encouraged learning and skill development throughout the summer. I adapted the curriculum to integrate critical soft skills, ensuring that campers built confidence and capabilities that will benefit them in school and beyond.

As a Learn to Swim Coach for the Briar Grove Swim Team, I provided individualized and group swimming instruction to children of various ages and skill levels. I focused on teaching fundamental swimming techniques—such as strokes, breathing, and kicking—while prioritizing water safety and building the swimmers' confidence. My role involved creating engaging lesson plans for each lesson, offering constructive feedback, and fostering a supportive environment that encouraged progress. I adapted lessons to suit each swimmer's needs and motivated them to improve their abilities, helping them develop not only their swimming skills but also a love for swimming.
