Summary
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of engaging with diverse people and levels of the game of soccer. Working with renowned figures in the US, coaching top talent at several varying academic institutions, and contributing to grassroots organizations have helped me gain insight that many others in my field do not possess. Administrative roles in both College and Youth levels have deepened my understanding of large-scale project implementation and broad impacts on the game. And my time spent within high level academic/athletic departments has bestowed complex understandings of the intensity that surrounds a high functioning student-athletes. It's these experiences that I believe set me apart in my field from my competitors.
