I host tournaments for a game known as Warhammer 40,000 at Clockworks Games and Events in College Station. I make rulings on the games and answer questions the players may have to ensure fairness and quality time for everyone.

• Monitored tournament activities to ensure compliance with established rules and regulations.
• Assigned roles and responsibilities to tournament personnel in advance of the events.
• Communicated regularly with participants regarding tournament details and expectations.
• Maintained accurate records of tournament results, standings, awards.
• Organized tournament staff and volunteers to ensure successful event execution.

I work for the Association of Former Students at Texas A&M University in College Station as a Student Ambassador.

• Maintain university-alumni relationships by connecting former students with resources and benefits.
• Additionally, I aid the non-profit organization Century Club, which provides scholarships for students by reaching out to generous alumni and offering them a chance to give back to the student body of A&M.
• Cold calling former students, and sometimes having the privilege to meet with them in person, has enabled me to understand more about the necessity for important communication and presentation skills, as well as problem-solving. (Potential transaction errors or lost payments).

I participated in speech and debate, and I achieved a decent amount of national and state success. I decided to use what I learned from the activity to help high schoolers excel in the activity.

• I have worked one-on-one with over 20 students, teaching them the basics of public speaking and argument construction.
• In addition, to tutoring individual students, I have also been hired by several schools and districts to teach their entire debate programs more about the activity. Some of these programs have received national recognition for their success in the activity, including W.B. Ray High School in Corpus Christi, A&M Consolidated High School in College Station, and Jack C. Hays in Buda. On top of building success in already thriving programs, I was also hired by younger programs to help build up their speech teams. Those schools include PSJA Southwest in Pharr, Calhoun High School in Port Lavaca, and multiple schools in the Corpus Christi Independent School District.
