CSUDH Call of Duty Esports Team Captain
I have spent my two years at CSUDH leading my Call of Duty Esports team through 4 seasons of league play. I take pride in working very hard to grow as a leader and guide my team to wins and even scholarship money. It takes hard work and determination to keep up with the weekly woes of the captain experience, and I believe it has helped me grow as a person, a leader, and a team player.
