Birch Wathen Lenox Photography Internship

In the spring of 2018, I was offered the opportunity to work as a photographer for my high school, Birch Wathen Lenox. This required me to take and edit photos for use on the school website - I got shots of everything from students in class, to children on the school playground, to exterior shots of the building.

Nantucket Bike Shop

In the summer of my freshman year of high school, I got my first job. I worked at the Nantucket Bike Shop, a perfect fit for a summer gig considering my passion for cycling.  I had never had a formal job with coworkers in a shop - it taught me a lot about how to handle a real job, responsibility, and how to work in a client-facing position.I spent the summer learning a lot about mechanics, watching professionals in the shop as they tuned and optimized bikes, and was able to develop friendships with my coworkers, who were also passionate cyclists. 

Postmates Courier

As a Postmates courier, I had the responsibility of picking up, transporting, and delivering goods to customers. Orders come to me through an app on my phone where I can view the list of items as well as the pickup and drop-off point. I make deliveries on my bike for maximum efficiency and maneuverability, which means I get to spend time riding. I feel very lucky to have a job doing something I love - cycling.
