  Cresskill Recreation Center

  Jul 2018 - Jul 2021

  Head Counselor

  Throughout High School, I worked at the local Recreation Center for the Summer Camp that they held. As a counselor, we would be expected to watch over the kids to make sure they were always safe. I proved myself as a great counselor year after year and was promoted to Head Counselor my 3rd year working for the Camp. This added extra responsibility as I was responsible for not only the children, but the 3 counselors that worked under me. Having to lead them to be responsible and dependable counselors. During my time as Head Counselor, there were many restrictions due to the prevalence of COVID-19, My tenure helped to keep everyone safe at the camp. Some other responsibilities that I had were taking care of special children who needed extra attention due to certain disabilities that they had. Show less
