I had the opportunity to work as a substitute teacher and a paraprofessional. In this position, I was responsible for managing and controlling classrooms from Kindergarten to 5th grade. I was responsible for ensuring the safety of the students, getting the students to recess, lunch and specialist on time and quietly, and I was responsible for reporting back to the teacher what the students had done in class that day, any behavior problems with the students and where the students needed work. I was dedicated to the students and put lots of time and attention into making connections with the students.

In this role, I was responsible for creating content and keeping up the Pumphouse Coffee Company's Instagram and Facebook pages. I was responsible for coming up with new drinks, staging a photoshoot for the drinks, and responding to and being active on the social media accounts. I particularly liked this position because I really enjoyed the creative aspect of creating these posts. I also was a barista, where I made long-lasting connections with members of the community. I really love the customers and try to let them know when I'm back in town working so I can see them.
