Lead Route Setter

Sep 2023 – Dec 2024 · Chestnut Hill, MA

Served as Lead Route Setter at Boston College's Recreation Center. After being the last returning route setter on the team, I was entrusted with this position to build back our route setting team. This allowed me to build the culture of safety, inclusivity and personal growth that now exemplifies this team. Each week we would end our sessions with a small debrief to talk about our own goals on the team and any frustations we were having with the process; this allowed everyone to participate in the building of this community while also giving a safe space to air an frustrations and fix them.
