-Seasonal summer job-Responsible for protecting all beach patrons and responding to any given medical or water emergency-Coordinate water rescues with other lifeguards and work as a team to create a safe environment for all beach goers -Competed in competitions where we performed mock rescue races against Cape Cod and Rhode Island’s best lifeguards

-I set up purse seines and gillnets to sample alewives in multiple lakes in Massachusetts-I extracted and mounted otoliths from the alewives and then later take pictures and age them-Used the data collected to create two independent projects that I then presented at separate conferences
