Hello, My name is Alexis Watson. I am currently in my early twenties.

Throughout my years in undergrad, I have had multiple volunteer opportunities and occupations involving children. I was a English and basic level of French tutor for High School students. I also, volunteered to help elementary aged children during after-school homework prep and activities. I have, for the past three summers, worked at an organization called The Fresh Air Fund. My first two years there, I was a general camp counselor. My main duties were to ensure the happiness and safety of each camper. This summer, my role was a village leader. My main duties were to ensure the happiness and safety of campers and counselors. I also facilitated various games, activities and events for campers and staff. Before the summer, I was a volunteer for an AmeriCorp program called City Year. During my service, I worked along side teachers ensuring that students understood the material given.
