I took orders, made drinks, cooked, and washed dishes. It is a relaxed restaurant on the beach with various tasks that need to be completed to provide people with artisanal food and drink on time.

I waited tables and washed dishes at an up-scale Thai restaurant in Ecuador. It was a short term job because I was helping out during the week of New Years but it was a very valuable experience in learning how to balance multiple tasks in high pressure situations.

I worked making smoothies at the Get Fresh farmer's market stand every Saturday morning over the summer. I also worked shifts at their cafe taking orders and making drinks. Along with the cafe and market, I worked at their ''hub'' warehouse preparing food, juice, and doing various cleaning tasks.

Worked with kids ages 3-15 in various camp weeks facilitating respectful interactions, learning of communication skills, and creative play time in natural areas around Iowa City. Along with emotionally supporting the campers, I also supervised them, interacted with parents, took photos, and practiced first aid.
