Summary
A dedicated, respectful individual who honors the importantance of time management and teamwork skills, which playing basketball at a high level taught me. One of my best abilities is being intellectual and knowing how to code-switch. I am great at solving problems on a regular based in a quick amount of time. While teaching is a whole different profession from basketball, I have mastered the ability to communicate with parents and our youth. I'm also skilled at using new technology like AI from having taught it, but my most skillful skill is being disciplined and motivated to be a better me and making those around me do the same, which is another one of my skills being a leader and able to mentor.
