I played a hands-on role in building a boat house, working closely with a 65-year-old master carpenter. I led a team of three less experienced workers, managing and delegating tasks such as raising walls, installing beams and rafters, staining, and carrying wood. Drawing on the skills I learned from a previous summer in construction, I took the opportunity to teach the crew, ensuring we maintained high standards and efficiency on the job site. Through this experience, I gained invaluable skills in management, carpentry, and life, which have deeply enriched my understanding of both leadership and craftsmanship.

- Served as an apprentice for a 65-year-old master carpenter.- Installed exterior siding, dripping, and roofing.- Honed my time management skills as I balanced two jobs during that time.

- Deemed the "Swiss Army Knife" for my seamless ability to transition between all my roles.- Enhanced my customer service, communication/team skills, and culinary skills.- Took part in catering services and worked as a bar tender at an outdoor event.
