D1. Occasionally I act as a duty engineer for work carried outside of production hours. I chair the weekend work meetings allowing me to understand requirements for additional support. A printed work package detailing the jobs is given to each member of the meeting, information and recommendations are exchanged verbally.

Being the main method of communicating an opportunity to an audience, a side project was introduced for me to create a poster about my desire to offer nutrition education in October. The project got completed in and posted in December mainly due to a misunderstanding on my part that I am not able to make a project poster as I would in high school, work-life conflicts with time, and how long it would take to create a YMCA poster through the official marketing channels within YMCA with emails back and forth. Once the poster was up it really did not make much of a difference except attract positive feedback from other staff that the facility definitely could use the service for the members since they are at a loss of how to address
