Summary
Dynamic and dedicated professional with experience as a Summer Camp Counselor at the YMCA of Greater Michiana, recognized for fostering teamwork and personal growth among campers. Skilled in compassionate communication and problem-solving, I excel in creating engaging environments and mentoring peers, ensuring safety and satisfaction in all interactions.
My education has always been important to me; I always wanted to have the best grades, only an A+ could satisfy me, not even an A. I taught myself how to work hard and stay persistent through it all, which has already helped me in many aspects of my life. I started learning Spanish in kindergarten in a Spanish immersion program, which carried all the way through 12th grade. I am continuing to study Spanish in college in pursuit of a Spanish minor.
