Transit Operator

• Aug 2014 - Jun 2017

As a transit operator, safety is always a top priority, however, customer service falls closely behind that. In the past two and a half years at Harrisonburg Transit, I have transported just under an estimated 200,000 customers, safely and courteously, with no complaints. Our ridership varies greatly as well; most of our customer base is comprised of James Madison University students, and occasionally, their parents, however we also get a great deal of Harrisonburg City residents, Eastern Mennonite University students, and the occasional visitor. In this role, I have become extremely comfortable working with a multitude of different people hailing from all sorts of different backgrounds, working with them to solve an often difficult problem: getting where one needs to go.In addition to improving my customer service skills, working at HDPT has also honed my attention to detail. This past spring, I took home first place at our Local Transit Roadeo, a competition consisting of a driving test, a written test, and a defect bus test. Every event at a Roadeo is set up to punish an operator who is not on top of their game, plus the added stress of a stopwatch makes it the ultimate test of one's skills. I certainly strive to do my best at whatever I do, so I'm proud to have done so well at my second competition.

Aquatics Director

• Jan 2015 - Aug 2016

My time at Camp Ross was simultaneously the most fun and most stressful job I've had thus far. I came into Ross as a greenhorn aquatics director, the position with the third most responsibility at camp. I came in with little experience, but the shoes needed filling and I was up to the task. The waterfront at Ross had been neglected for a few years, so my first task was to redesign and renovate the area, a project that should've taken 2 weeks, but we had to cram into 2 days to have it ready for campers.I was also responsible for training and certifying my lifeguards, a task which carried a huge weight on my shoulders, due to any consequences of their actions or inability coming back to me. It's not a pretty picture to paint, but at scout camps, we like to have fun and stay safe, and in most areas it's easy to stay safe, but at the waterfront, a guard's inattention for 30 seconds could mean the difference in someone walking out of the water or not.Along with my responsibilities at the waterfront, I was third in the chain of command at camp. If the Camp Director and Program Director were ever out of camp, which they often were, I became acting Camp Director. This meant that I had to handle problems as they came up with parents and scouts, oversee the entire staff, and know all emergency procedures, from missing campers, to inclement whether, and even bear sightings.All in all, the two seasons I spent at Camp Ross are a cherished memory that will last with me forever, but the knowledge I gained from working with the Boy Scouts is even more important than that. From customer service, to life saving techniques, staff management, and just living outdoors, it was a great experience for me, and hopefully for all the staff and campers that I experienced it with.
