Community Service
Max & Emily's at Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, As part of my NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deal with Max & Emily's at Central Michigan University, I committed to completing 40 hours of community service—and it turned out to be one of the most rewarding parts of the entire experience., This wasn't just about repping a brand. It was about giving back to the same community that supports us on and off the field., Whether it was volunteering at local food drives, helping out at youth sports clinics, or working community events in Mount Pleasant, every hour gave me a chance to connect, grow, and contribute to something bigger than myself., Balancing athletics, school, and service wasn't always easy, but it taught me a lot about time management, leadership, and what it really means to be a student-athlete., The partnership with Max & Emily's wasn't just a sponsorship—it was a chance to make a real impact.
