Summary
I am a sophomore in college who was given the opportunity to play college soccer and showcase my talent to other college coaches around the world. I grew up with only a family of seven, them being the closest people to me, especially my mom. Being in a household with a parent who has to play the role of two parents is not for the weak. She was the person who would push me day in and day out to better myself and create a lifestyle for my persona. I am also a Dynamic and innovative professional with a proven track record at Nebraska Lutheran Outdoor Ministries, adept in fostering personal growth and resilience among youth. Excelled in creating engaging programs and managing safety, demonstrating exceptional patience, creativity, and team leadership. Skilled in clear communication and activity planning, significantly enhancing volunteer satisfaction and participant engagement.
