      Jun 2020 - Aug 2021
      Summer Camp Counselor

      As a camp counselor, I was chiefly tasked with making sure our campers had fun. I tended to disputes among the kids, facilitated games, generally supervised, and led activities. It was a 7-week job and made additionally complicated by the constraints of the pandemic. In spite of the challenges, the camp was successful and I look forward to helping out again in the future.

      May 2023 - Aug 2023
      Book researcher

      This project is one with deep meaning to me. I was asked to carry out the primary research for a coffee table book exhibiting the life's work of Bermuda's most notorious photojournalist, Richard "Clive" Saunders (1922-1987). A larger-than-life figure, it was an immense pleasure diving into the archives of his life, photographs, articles, interviewing friends and family. His story is one that needs to be told and I am grateful that I could get that ball rolling. A most inspiring endeavour.
