Summary

I graduated from Ernest Righetti High School as part of the class of 2023. During my time in high school, I was a dedicated member of both the water polo and swim teams for all four years, building on my earlier experience as a Club Water Polo player. In these programs, I learned the importance of tenacity, leadership, participation, and team development. My passion for all things mechanical has been a significant part of my life, manifesting in various ways. One of my proudest achievements is my first car, a 1965 Mustang, which I rebuilt from the ground up, including all the systems of the car. This project transformed the Mustang into a reliable daily driver and provided me with an incredibly fun and educational experience. Through this process, I learned a great deal about automotive mechanics and developed practical skills that I have since applied to maintaining newer cars for my friends. Recently, I have built my own computer, updated hardware and associated components, and assisted friends in building theirs, further broadening my technical expertise. Currently, I am attending Allan Hancock College, where I am pursuing an associate's degree in mechanical engineering. I expect to complete my studies in about a year. My experiences with cars and computers have solidified my passion for technical engineering, and I am excited to continue developing my skills and knowledge in this field.

Work History

Lifeguard

Santa Maria YCMA
12.2023 - 09.2024
  • I was responsible for watching over the pool and attending to any medical emergency in the facility. The lifeguards were the highest medically trained staff present. I was also responsible for helping patrons when they needed directions or could not find anything. Lifeguards were also responsible for minor maintenance of the pool, such as cleaning out some filters and maintaining the equipment for cleanliness. We wiped and cleaned off our station daily and had shifts where we would vacuum the pool floor.

Lifeguard

  • Every day we were to open and close our towers during shifts. I was put in charge of watching over a large section of the beach. We were usually alone in our towers for hours at a time, which helped me develop particularly good independent decision making. After work we handled minor maintenance of the vehicles in ways that included checking the working and moving parts like suspension and the drivetrain. I developed new ways to communicate with people on the beach due to working with such a large crowd with varying attitudes.
