years of professional experience
I am a recently retired competitive soccer player looking to move into the work world. The experiences I've had on and off the field have helped me while playing and I feel are easily transferrable to the work world. I have a proven rack record of discipline, strategic thinking, problem-solving, teamwork and the ability to excel in performing under pressure. I bring a goal-oriented mindset, strong attention to detail and the ability to analyze challenges, adapt to changing priorities and work collaboratively towards measurable outcomes.
