Chemistry Teaching Assistant and Tutor
Both my freshman and sophomore year of college, I worked as a chemistry laboratory teaching assistant (TA) and tutor for the general chemistry classes.
As a TA, I helped a professor in a three hour lab each week, answering student's questions about the lab or classroom material, and preventing an accidents that might happen.
As a tutor, I met with students individually, twice a week, helping them study for exams, going through practice problems, or helping them write lab reports.

Deer Valley YMCA Family Camp is situated in the mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania. Considered one of the best family camps in the United States, the camp hosts a variety of different family-friendly activities. In the summer, families camp for a week, while the rest of the year, familys come for the weekend to stay.
My family has gone to Deer Valley since 1998, and I began volunteering my time in high school, first working in the kitchens, then as a counselor in training, and finally as a staff member. I've worked hundreds of hours there, and volunteered for hundreds more, all in a variety of different positions ranging from music director to horse barn director to kids counselor.
