I fell in love with soccer as a player, and then again as an official. The experience that I have gained over the years, both personally and professionally, has been overwhelmingly positive. As a referee, I have become a leader and a team player, greatly enhanced my stress management, learned how to self-reflect and improve, and learned how to speak to someone who may be ever-so-slightly upset with you. Food Lion also positively contributed to my professional development, where I learned customer service etiquette, learned how to balance my desire for efficiency with quality, and honed my multitasking abilities.
