hastings water works provides opportunities

This summer I have had the excellent opportunity to be a District Manager for Hastings Water Works and today marked my last day at this job. Four summers ago, in 2020, I started at this company as a lifeguard, and I had no idea how far working for this company would take me.

As I look back on my experience working for this company, I’ve realized these years have been a masterclass in leadership. Over my time at this job, my experiences, managers, and colleagues have taught me the true essence of guiding and empowering a team. Learning the ropes of leadership, fostering teamwork, and embracing challenges has been an honor and a privilege of this job.

As I look forward to my second year at St. Louis University, I plan on carrying these experiences with me. I know the leadership skills I have acquired here at Hastings Water Works will be vital to success in my future endeavors.
