Volunteer

I was a volunteer at Mobile Hope which is a organization that helps feed the hungry and offer other services in Leesburg VA. My team organizes collected clothing to be delivered to various neighborhoods in need.

During the summer months I volunteered at Slam City in Chantilly VA which is a basketball camp where I coached the kids ages 5-9 to help them develop better basketball skills. I was also responsible for keeping there uniforms laundried everyday.
