Summary
In my pursuit of excellence, I push myself to be the best that I can be, whether I am working in a cafe, coaching, at school, or even simply with friends or family. Recognized for my integrity, self-discipline, and leadership skills, I choose to commit to what is right, no matter the obstacles or consequences. The motto that I live by is "lead by example". I choose not to tell people how to do things the right way, but show them. I believe that it helps me strive to be the best that I can be, humbly.

Work History
Assistant Coach
Southern Soccer Academy, SSA
04.2025 - Current
Hired by my team's coach, also the director of SSA, Hagan Robinson, I reinforced two Select, u13 boys teams and assisted in developing training programs, practice schedules, and enhancing player skills and teamwork. Then, over summer I was included as a special guest coach during multiple summer camp events with 3 others where we directed and developed a group of over 200 players. I currently do not have a team to work with, but at the end of the current semester I hope to join one or coach more camps.
Closing BOH and FOH Manager
Clean Eatz Cafe
03.2024 - 06.2025
Cross trained and managed both Back of House and Front of House closing responsibilities. My main task was to collaborate with team members in order to maintain cleanliness and organization in working and dining areas. I began the Back of House closing manager role 2 months after being hired which allowed me to quickly display the leadership skills learned from my leadership team in high school (Student Athlete Leadership Team/S.A.L.T).

Soccer Leadership
Captained both Club and High school soccer teams from 2023-2025. Throughout that time I led my club team to 5 tournament wins, 1 state tournament win, and was awarded with SSA player of the month in 2024. My efforts and accolades got me the position of assistant coach later on. In high school, I was individually awarded the Most improved player award (2023) and Defensive player of the year award x2 (2024, 2025). My senior year I led the team to our first and only County Cup championship win and lifted the trophy at the ceremony in front of all students and staff in the school. We had the best win % in school history and by the end of the season I finished with the honor of 1st team all-region selection and Defensive Player of the year award.
