I was tasked with updating the SharePoint intranet site for the Environmental and Safety Programs Office. Additionally, I wrote a sustainability newsletter for the park which dealt with things such as the solar panels on Alcatraz Island, electric vehicles in the park, and the wind turbines at the Crissy Field Center.

I washed down planes, helped fix them if they needed repairs, and also refueled the planes before they went out. I love airplanes and so I wanted to do this, just to be around the planes in the summer after I graduated high school.
