Summary

  • My current cumulative GPA is a 3.0. I am a seasoned track and field competitor competing unattached as a 400m specialist and javelin thrower. I've also hosted donation drives for my local homeless shelter and for Children's Hospital Los Angeles during the holiday's for the past 7 years.
  • On December 2023, successfully hosted a toy donation drive collecting over $10,000 worth of toys for children at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and only looking to expand on that project even more this year.
  • My career goal is to become a licensed physical therapist. My other options include working in an athletic environment coaching and training athletes with a CSCS certification.
  • If needed, CSUN faculty member Sean Flanagan can write me a letter of recommendation.
