I would love to work in Sporting Goods as I feel my skills and knowledge would be most useful in that setting. I love the fact that I could serve others in a professional role in the world of staying active!

I will be a junior at Francis Howell Central. I have played basketball and baseball there the last two years. This past spring, I made the Varsity baseball team and then in the 2nd game of the year I found out I needed surgery on my hand. I was batting 3rd in the lineup and was the starting 1st baseman before that happened, and I was so happy I reached my goals to get there. However, I learned so much from my experience on having to sit out this spring. I became a better teammate, and loved serving others before myself. I would love to work in sporting goods as baseball is such a big, influential part of my life. I feel like I am proficient in knowing baseball equipment, as I do a lot of my own research before I buy! I also really enjoy working out, fitness, and fishing.




I am an honor roll student and take a few honors classes at FHC. I also belong to FCA and Arete clubs at my school. I was also selected by my teachers and coaches at school to be one of the Class Leaders at our school sporting events. Only 4 kids from each class get chosen, and I was asked to lead based on my citizenship, grades and character I bring to the school. That was a nice surprise!
