As a lifeguard, I was trained to maintain a strong swimming ability and constant awareness of my environment in my assigned zone, looking for signs of struggle in guests, and possible damage, and to communicate with other lifeguards or my supervisor through whistles and hand signals while at my assigned spot. We were trained to provide BSL (Basic Life Support) at a moment's notice, and to respond to an emergency such as drowning, spinal, or other dangerous situations quickly and in a calm manner. Half way through my third season in 2017, I was promoted to Lifeguard Supervisor, which added to my list of responsibilities. I was required to maintain awareness of lifeguards in my area, and constantly audit their performance in both casual and emergency situations. Communicaion was key, via walkie talkie to other supervisors and management across the park to maintain a safe and well-run environment. I also had the responsibiliy of documenting emergency rescues that occurred in my area, and provide the needed information for follow ups with guests involved in the rescue. Supervisors were also required to walk slides before opening the park, and measuring the pH of the pool water in their shifts to ensure it was safe to enter. I enjoyed this summer job and value the opportunities it gave me to overcome new challenges while keeping people safe.

As a Barista, I learned to craft complicated drinks and prepare orders in a fast-pace environment. We also kept a high standard and maintained a clean store by performing multiple tasks including sweeping, mopping, wiping down every section of store, sometimes while taking orders at the drive - through. During our slow moments, we constantly prepped and restocked between rushes and prepared for incoming shifts. I learned to communicate with coworkers in busy environments and work as a team in even the most loud and hectic situations, choosing to just continue on even if a major spill or accident occurred. I made it a priority help customers have an enjoyable and quick experience when they came, I gave it my best effort to serve them well.
