Student Leadership Experience

As a member of The Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps, I served as a Section Leader. This entailed coordinating with staff and members on rehearsal protocols, resolving conflicts between members, upholding standards, and leading by example. I was awarded "Crossmen of the Year" in two of my three years with the organization. This experience helped me develop patience and understanding with all kinds of people in stressful situations.
