Summary
As a five-year Division I Football Letterman, I’ve developed into a high-performing team player with proven leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills. My ability to connect authentically with others, paired with sound judgment in high-pressure, fast-paced environments, with a diverse portfolio of experiences as an individual, athlete and person has made me an effective and trusted revenue generator. I am seeking positions where I can continue to mold into a transformational leader while pursuing ultimate purpose through building authentic connections that impact lives.
