EXPERIENCE
Curated, Fully remote — Ski Expert
2020-2021
I transitioned into a fully remote job, in which I utilize Slack to communicate with my team, escalate issues, and brainstorm best practices. I receive customers looking to buy ski gear, and after building rapport, I can confidently recommend gear that suits their needs. I enhanced their tutorials and Q&A databases.
Sweetser, Saco, ME — Youth and Family Counselor
2015 - 2020
I employed a wealth of de-escalation techniques in my 5 years working across three company locations with Sweetser. I worked closely with client advocates to recognize and leverage client and family strengths. While training coworkers, volunteers, and interns I have built meticulous organizational skills, maintaining client records and documenting daily events in a communication log and EHR. I have experience with a wide range of mental health and behavioural disorders, trauma symptoms, and treatment plan development, and am confident in making appropriate decisions in a crisis. I planned and led a summer activity schedule five days a week. Also, during a period without a full time clinician, I reviewed crisis referrals and collaborated with a team to determine if the milieu and program were a therapeutic match.
St George Municipal School, Tenants Harbor, ME —
Education Technician III
2018 - 2019
I led groups with kindergarten-4th graders running planned and impromptu lessons, maintaining a calm structured atmosphere, and engaging movement and gamification. I assisted with CBT, OT, and speech therapy sessions.
Outward Bound School, Wheeler’s Bay, ME — Logistician 2019
I utilized my problem solving skills to fix and repair sail boats and related gear with no instruction, leading to the success of semester long sailing expeditions. I worked with a diverse population including youth, college students, veterans, and women-only 60yr+ courses.
