Summary

I am a self-driven and eager to work lover of the outdoors. My nature is that of an easy-going, patient, and disciplined individual who is willing to learn and make the most of every opportunity. My passion for the outdoors and previous jobs has helped me to experience a variety of different scenarios which has allowed me to have a calm and logical response to emergency situations. I enjoy helping people reach their full potential, especially within an unknown environment to them. I have been fortunate enough to work as a swim teacher and help students reach their full swimming potential, along with this I have had many opportunities to volunteer at trail running events and watch as the runners reach their potential and have fun along the way. I bring a professional yet approachable manner to my work, and I perform every task I am delegated to completion above average. I am very reliable and it brings me joy to help others in any way I can. During my high school years, I was a competitive swimmer and played in a club football team. From these experiences I was able to gain discipline and self-driven motivation, but also the ability to work in a team and incorporate everyone involved.
