Summary

Driven Former College Athlete | Proven Leader | Team-Oriented Professional

Former team captain and leader for the football programs at Indiana University and Bryant University. I bring a strong work ethic, a passion for taking on challenges, and a results-driven mindset developed through years of athletic discipline.
My experience as a student-athlete taught me critical professional skills—teamwork, leadership, communication, and time management—that translate directly into the workplace. I've applied these skills across a variety of roles as I explore different industries and expand my professional portfolio.

Being a former athlete has shaped my ability to handle pressure, adapt quickly, and stay focused on goals. It’s also given me the confidence and drive to contribute to a team, lead through challenges, and approach every opportunity with a growth mindset.

Now, I’m looking to bring my energy, discipline, and team-first attitude to a company where I can make an immediate impact and continue to grow
