Varsity Soccer
Track & Field Manager
I have played on the Girls Varsity Soccer team at Watkinson for all three years of high school so far. In two of my four years on the team, we have made it to the finals of our league tournament, but have sadly been runners-up both times. Being a student-athlete is tough and takes a lot of work ethic and perseverance. Through soccer, I have learned dedication, teamwork, and patience.
This spring will be my fourth year managing the Track and Field team at Watkinson. Last year I was "promoted" to head manager and was able to be an official for Track and Field meets, so I could measure times, jumps, and throws. As a manager, I help out with everything from the practice schedule and meet signups to carrying equipment for the athletes. I am proud of my position as the head manager, and through the role I have gained more knowledge than I could have ever known before stepping into this role. I have learned organization, leadership, and much more.
Jobs
Arthur Beck
Camp Counselor at Camp Laurelwood
I have been going to Camp Laurelwood, a Jewish summer camp, for 10 years, and in the summer of 2025, I became a volunteer Staff in Training (SIT). I spent four weeks working as an SIT with 4-12-year-olds, and then I got promoted to a full-time paid counselor for the last three weeks of camp. I worked the next summer for a full eight weeks living directly in a bunk with 9-10 year old kids. As I was a camper there, I was able to really connect with my campers, even when I was dealing with very difficult situations. I earned both SIT of the week and counselor of the week awards during my first summer and the next summer I earned counselor of the week once again. Over two summers and gained endless compassion, independence, and resilience through this job.
Sugarbush Ski & Ride School
For the past four years, I have worked as a ski instructor at Sugarbush Resort in Vermont. I typically work with 4-12 year olds in group lessons, but I also teach private lessons. Through my work on the mountain, not only have I become a better skier, but I have also learned responsibility, empathy, and how to put others' needs above my own.
