For the past five years, I have worked as a docent at Belle Grove Plantation and as a gymnastics coach at Astro Gymnastics. Both of these jobs have helped me grow tremendously. As a docent, I have gained confidence in my public speaking abilities as well as my interpersonal skills. While working as a docent, I seek to give an engaging tour where the stories of the past become interesting and educational. In order to do so, I walk people through the house while telling them about the history of the house itself, the people who lived there, and the furniture that now resides in the home. I also answer questions people ask. Additionally, my time as a gymnastics coach has helped my teaching skills grow. I have learned to plan and execute gymnastics drills, stretching routines, and strength building exercises. Coaching has also taught me how to be patient because I often work with children whose attention span is shorter or who cannot seem to sit still. During my time at the University of Mary Washington, I worked to get my Bachelor's degree in the field of psychology. This included a year long research project conducted with five fellow students and overseen by a professor. For our research project, we looked at how the Covid-19 pandemic and the political atmosphere of the 2021 presidential elections affected college student's stress and coping styles. Furthermore, we also conducted an experiment that explored the effects of menu designs and colors on food choices at a restaurant. As a result of this year long research, I have some familiarity with researching for a topic, designing an experiment, conducting an experiment, collecting and analyzing data.
