During the summer I worked as a Seasonal Pool Inspector for the Marion County Health Department in the Water Quality and Hazmat Materials department. I was lucky enough to stay on during the winter and help write the guidelines for cold plunges in Indiana. During this time I was also given the opportunity to shadow different inspections in my department. 

​

My ROLE at MCPHD included responsibilities such as:

• Testing swimming pools to make sure  all chemicals were in range and there were no violations. If there was, I would go over them with the operators and help them correct them.  

• Shadowed a number of inspections such as indoor air, tattoo, microblading, well sampling, water sampling, and macro sampling inspections.

• Worked with companies to make sure they filled out their Tier II paperwork.

• Helped input pool application information into our system

• Closed pools if they had any critical violations and explained to operator how they can fix the pool. ​

• Helped write the guidance document (as seen below) for cold plunges.
