Additional Information Regarding Education

Other Relevant Information
Soccer Experience (2003-2017)
- In high school during the year of 2015, I volunteered to referee San Marcos Youth soccer games for about four months. This gave me the opportunity to meet with some families of the community and helped me develop my skills for calming tense situations when some parents become confrontational if emotions were high at the games.
- Playing soccer for a total of fourteen years has given me a lot of knowledge about the game as well as recognize the importance of teamwork, balancing sports with education, and promoting high levels of respect and cooperation among my teammates and coaches.
