Summary

I am a highly motivated and results-driven individual with a unique blend of experiences that encompass both collegiate athletics and a successful career. I dedicated three years of my life to collegiate athletics, where I honed qualities such as discipline, resilience, and teamwork. Unfortunately, I had to medically retire due to elbow surgeries, but this adversity further instilled in me the values of perseverance and adaptability.

During my time as a collegiate athlete, I learned the importance of setting and achieving goals, maintaining a strong work ethic, and collaborating effectively with teammates and coaches. These qualities have since translated seamlessly into my professional life.

My educational background includes my in-progress Bachelors degree at the University of South Carolina with a minor in Business Administration, providing me with a strong foundation for my future in my educational journey and professional career. I have consistently strived to exceed expectations and bring a positive, can-do attitude to every endeavor.

I am known for my effective communication, teamwork, adaptability skills, and unwavering commitment to integrity. I thrive in dynamic environments and excel under pressure, always striving to make a positive and meaningful difference
