Freelance Graphic Design
Since my graduation from college, I have done some freelance work for friends, neighbors, and acquaintances who needed help with their own businesses. This included drafting up a written agreement, meeting with them in person to flush out ideas, drafting logo designs, revising, and contacting print companies to have the final design made on business cards and company apparel. This has given me real world experience in working with clients to produce an end result that fulfills their needs for their own companies.

Medical Scheduling – PET Representative
For over a year, I have worked as a remote PET representative for a healthcare provider centered in Massachusetts. I schedule patients for their PET/CT scans and make sure that they have the requirements needed for their scan, such as paperwork, insurance clearance, and pre-registration. Some of my other job responsibilities include scheduling and rescheduling appointments, contacting doctor’s offices and care facilities, following the rules of HIPPA to ensure that patient information is kept confidential, and answering patients’ and doctor offices’ medical-related questions about the specifics of the scans performed. Collaboration with fellow representatives, colleagues, and medical personnel from other departments and facilities is essential to make sure that patients are able to get the care they need.

Aquatics
Throughout the years, I have worked as an aquatics supervisor, lifeguard, swim instructor, and pool maintenance worker at my local athletic club, amusement park, and town beach. Remaining vigilant around water attractions and performing saves during lifeguarding shifts has been one of my primary responsibilities in these positions. I have also taught both private and group swim lessons to children and adults of all ages and helped some students prepare to meet swim team qualifications. Ensuring that new staff are properly trained on the facilities’ protocols and informing patrons about aquatic’s policies have been vital in making sure that the facility is both effective and a safe environment. I have been around water my entire life, so working in these environments feel like home. Whether it was at a local town pool or at a resort water attraction during vacation, aquatic recreation has been an integral part of my life.
I’ve competed in countless swim competitions since I was nine years old and have been affiliated with private, high school, and US Masters swim teams. I was elected to be one of the boys’ swim team captains during my senior year of high school. This gave me the opportunity to advocate for the resolution of teammates’ concerns and conflicts to the head coach when they arose. I also encouraged inexperienced swimmers and helped guide them in proper techniques for success during competitions. Throughout my career, I placed in both my home state and the nation for several events throughout numerous competitions. Placing in the US Masters Swimming Spring and Summer Nationals from 2023 to present have been some of my biggest accomplishments. Swimming has taught me sportsmanship, determination, resilience, goal-setting, and focus. All of these have transferred into other aspects of my life and career.

Golf
Over the past several years, I worked at my local golf course. Here, I worked with other coworkers to ensure that the course is maintained for golfers to fully enjoy. Some tasks that I was responsible for completing included washing, refueling, and parking golf carts. Other tasks consisted of emptying trash cans around the course, refilling water jugs, handing out refreshing iced-towels to golfers on hot summer days, assembling event posters, driving incoming golfers in the shuttle cart from the parking lot to the club house, and fully cleaning the restrooms. My time at this job has given me a lot of experience with professional social skills and being helpful to customers. As a side note, I used to be on my middle school golf team which played at this same course several times during the season. My father had brought me to this course since I was two years old and taught me the fundamentals and techniques of the sport.

Retail
I started working at my local Walmart superstore during the shutdown of 2020. Despite the fact that my other jobs closed down, I understood that I needed to find another avenue to work. Retail was always something that intrigued me, yet I never had the opportunity to get involved in it. I decided to give it a try, and to my surprise, it was even better than I expected.
I’ve received invaluable experience while working as a front end cashier at Walmart. Throughout my time here, I have been able to refine my customer service skills, clearly and quickly describe problems to supervisors, use good judgement when selling age-restrictive beverages and products, remain calm when customers are frustrated, and troubleshoot problems on my own. I now have a better understanding of how retail stores keep their prices competitive, why product placement and promotion are vital for a store to obtain more sales, and how supply and demand works in the real world.
