Summary

I’m a motivated college student with experience in customer service, childcare, and youth programs. I've worked in a variety of settings—from being a cashier at Giant Eagle and Sheetz to helping teach young children as a Teacher’s Aide. I’ve also spent several summers coaching at a sports camp and volunteering with Troop D Camp Cadet, where I help mentor kids and teens. These roles have helped me build strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to work well with others. I'm passionate about making a positive impact and always eager to learn and take on new challenges.
