During my employment at Pocahontas State Park, I was responsible for maintaining cleanliness of all park facilities. This included bathrooms, lodges and cabins, dining halls, amphitheaters, visitor centers, picnic shelters and pools. I also got experience with various landscaping including mowing, weedeating and leaf blowing. My employees and I were each responsible for a vehicle and supplies within the vehicle used to ensure bathrooms and other facilities were stocked with necessary toiletries. On special occasions we assisted with concerts and sporting events that took place in the park such as bike and running races. Most of the day was spent inside cleaning and the rest was generally outside properly discarding litter, answering questions about the park and interacting with visitors, emptying trash cans and cleaning picnic shelters.

While working at Yamato, I maintained a clean and safe dining environment by sweeping, vacuuming and mopping floors, wiping down surfaces, and keeping walkways clear of debris. This included the sustainment of cleanliness in the kitchen, dining floor, bathrooms and front of the house. I also assisted other employees with sanitization and food prep, including managers, bar staff, servers and chefs. I was also responsible for meeting the needs and requests of our customers at all times, from questions about food to helping clean a spill. During closing hours, the other bussers and I were tasked with emptying kitchen and waiting area trash, mopping the kitchen, sweeping, dishes and occasionaly prep for the opening shifts.
