Summary
In addition to my work experience, I have gained valuable life skills in other categories as well. I was a member of Theta Chi fraternity, Iota Phi chapter, which taught me many life lessons including social skills and respect. In high school, I was a member of the varsity soccer, basketball, and track teams which taught me teamwork and leadership. I was very active in my church's youth groups in middle and high school. A highlight of this time was going on multiple mission trips to places including Kermit, WV; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta, GA; and Mobile, AL. On these trips we worked with programs serving the homeless, fundraising for poor school districts, and constructing community gardens and family homes.
