From 2018 to 2022, I worked as a lifeguard and swim teacher at my local YMCA in Wallingford. During this time, I not only ensured the safety of swimmers and taught individuals of all ages how to swim, but I also developed strong relationships with the community.

In 2021, the marketing department reached out to me with an exciting opportunity. They asked me to manage their social media accounts, a role in which I was responsible for creating engaging content, increasing online engagement, and promoting the YMCA's programs and events.
