I've had a lot of volunteer opportunities. I currently play the drums on the praise team at my high school. I also volunteer at Active Church in Yucaipa during summer camps and Sunday services. I've attended a mission's trip to Ensenada, Mexico to Ninos de Baja Orphanage to help make a difference in their quality of life. I've also tutored students in math to help them be more successful in school. For extracurricular activities, I participate on the cross country and track teams at my high school. I also have been scootering for 5 years. I also play Golf and plan to participate in intermural tournaments during my college career. I also ran a car detailing business washing cars ranging from regular cars to high-end BMW’s, Audi, Mercedes, and Porsche. I also currently buy and sell Rolex watches for a profit margin.
Over the past year, I have been actively involved in buying and selling Rolex watches, which has required a diverse set of skills. To succeed in this niche market, I’ve had to develop a deep understanding of sales tactics, from negotiating deals to building trust with potential buyers. I’ve also honed my online marketing abilities, utilizing platforms to reach a broader audience while creating compelling listings that emphasize the value and authenticity of each timepiece. This venture has demanded attention to detail, market research, and the ability to identify trends in pricing and demand.

The position required strong communication and active listening skills, as I regularly assisted a diverse range of customers—from children participating in sports to seniors engaging in community activities. Success in this role demanded problem-solving abilities, familiarity with city services, and the capacity to deescalate situations when necessary.
Owning a car wash business in my city for several months has required the application of a wide range of skills.
