Carlouel Yacht Club is a small family-oriented beach club that hosts different events and activities throughout the year. It offers summer camps that focus on marine life and conservation.

My responsibilities included guarding, childcare, maintenance, event planning, cleaning, checking and maintaining pool chemicals, and docking boats. In addition, we helped with the responsibilities of the wait staff and responded to other emergency situations. I was also required to train for and earn my Red Cross CPR and water rescue certification.

Nekton Surf Shop is a small family-owned surf shop that was started by famous surfer Cory Lopez. The shop is focused on enriching the local surf, skate, and skimboard community, rather than tourism. It supports many small local suppliers, including my own brand, Ocean Rayz.

In addition to working at the cashier, my responsibilities include shop care, maintenance, and organization, customer relations, social media marketing, and care and distribution of rental equipment. I am also expected to have good knowledge of the area so that I can offer suggestions and advice to customers that are unfamiliar with the city.

Rare Americans is an independent Canadian alternative rock band, known for their animated music videos. They have released one animated musical-film, and are currently working on a second.

I auditioned and was chosen for a part in their second animated musical-film. I had to review a script, workshop different voices for the character, and record myself speaking and singing her lines. Rare Americans is my favorite band, so being on Zoom calls and hearing unreleased demo music was an honor. The film is still in progress.

The Clearwater Community Sailing Center's mission is to create affordable and accessible sailing opportunities. In addition to producing multiple Olympic athletes with its racing program, the sailing center also provides accessible lessons for children, seniors, and the disabled.

My responsibilities include helping to run summer camp, engaging with the members, assisting with international regattas, towing and cleaning motorboats, moving, rigging, and de-rigging sailboats, and repairing boats and trailers. I also assisted with the organization, Sailability, which gives physically and mentally disabled people the chance to learn how to sail. I've learned so much, from interacting with skilled sailors from across the world, to teaching new ones.
