Summary

I’m a highly competitive student-athlete with strong team working abilities who takes their school education undoubtedly serious. I currently go to school at Bridgewater State University. I have just under 2 years of job experience in the food industry, almost 2 years of experience as a baseball instructor, and over 4 years of experience as a baseball umpire. I am smart, hard working, outgoing, funny (when it’s the right time/place) and incredibly eager to work!
