Each Thursday a new music group has a live performance at the KJHK radio station. As a videographer, I am responsible for designing the lighting design, and camera set up. The band is broadcasted live and the videographers capture multiple angles and shots of the performance. After I receive the audio mix I have one week to edit and finish a 20-30 minutes music video for the band.

During my junior year at the university of kansas I completed my practicum with the KU truancy diversion and prevention program. Each semester I maintained a caseload of 3-4 youth. This position was very demanding and gave me experience in a variety of areas. The goal was for me to aid students, who meet the legal definition of truancy, in going to school so they are no longer truant. In order to achieve this goal I met with each youth for 1.5 hours this week, had weekly contact with the youth’s guardian, and maintained contact with their schools weekly. I constantly got to practice professionalism when meeting with schools, and attending and speaking at court hearings. I used problem solving skills to create specific behavior intervention plans. I also practiced patience and active listening skills when advocating for students.

During my summer working at Brant Lake, Camp I drove ski boats for the campers, lifeguarded, and taught ski lessons and swim lessons. I would head to the water front around 9am and pull water skiers, wake boarders, wake surfs, slalom skiers, etc. My day at the water would end around 6pm. For this role I had to gain my New York public vessel license, boaters license, water front certification, rectify in CPR/first aid training, and lifeguard training.

I worked as a covid intern over winter break. I would check patients symptoms, direct them to appointments, guide patients, and explain the importance of our covid procedures.
