What am I all about? I am here to advocate for the Maine marine lobster population and how the warming ocean is directly affecting their habitat. We need people to become more and more educated on this issue. I will be posting factual evidence and ways to become more connected to this event.
Past work Experiences
(2015 – 2018)
Bob’s Clam Hut- Kittery, ME
I worked at a seafood restaurant for 4 years while I was in High school. I got a lot of communication skills and management knowledge from working here. I worked behind the cash register and in the ice cream window. In the summer I would do those but also rotate in the parking lot, parking cars.
Laborer- Kittery Point, ME
(2018-19)
This job required a lot of communication and trust. This was a private job that was given to me through my parents. I was working out in Kittery point doing projects around my bosses house. I painted his dock and the stairs that went down to the dock. We also reconstructed the retaining wall that was next to the road which led to his house that was help up with pillars over the water. After that there was a lot of other little projects that were complicated and took time.
Laborer- Southern Maine
(2018 – Present)
This job was given to me by my father. This job requires carpentry skills and focus and math skills with the tape measure and being able to picture projects in your head. I have learned a lot of these skills from my father which will benefit me in the future. We do new roofs, windows, kitchens, living-rooms, etc.
Lobstering
(2020 future job)
This summer I have a lobstering job lined up that I hope to be doing. I have been offered a deckhand job before but this summer I am committing to captain that works out of Pepperrell Cove Kittery Point, ME
