Summary

I am a driven individual with a strong background and refined experience in leadership, instruction, and customer service. Through my coaching of CANSail 1–4, I developed and implemented in-depth training programs, reinforced students' essential sailing techniques, and promoted teamwork and sportsmanship. I excelled in a fast-paced hospitality setting and delivered excellent guest experiences, maintained high standards for cleanliness and safety, and developed customer loyalty. I have demonstrated strong academic performance—completing IB Business and Physics, and earning multiple Honor Roll distinctions—while balancing extracurricular commitments such as high school sports and organizing school-wide events. During a rigorous semester at the Canadian Coast Guard College, I enhanced my work habits, critical thinking, and time management, proving my ability to collaborate effectively within small teams to achieve common goals.
