Baily Walden

I am a driven and adaptable individual with a strong work ethic, a competitive spirit, and a commitment to excellence. As a finance and cybersecurity student, I bring a strategic mindset and strong analytical skills that allow me to tackle complex challenges. Being recruited to play basketball for the Air Force Academy and later transferring to the University of Tampa has taught me resilience, discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure. I thrive in team environments, demonstrating leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills that translate seamlessly from athletics to the workplace. Balancing rigorous academic and athletic commitments has strengthened my time management and determination. Whether working independently or with a team, I adapt quickly, embrace challenges, and always strive for results. I am eager to bring my leadership, analytical abilities, and strong work ethic to any professional setting, contributing to success and continuous growth.

Leadership | Teamwork | Strategy

Currently in my second semester of college, working toward a business degree. A four-year varsity starting point guard and two-year team captain, I led my high school basketball team to an undefeated 27-0 season and conference championship.

As the floor general, I focused on team-first leadership, strategy, and elevating performance, ensuring every player contributed. My experience in high-pressure decision-making, adaptability, and team building translates directly to business, where I thrive in fast-paced, results-driven environments.
