Summary
I retired from competitive snowboarding in 2021 to focus on completing my education in psychology and marketing. I understand the grind that goes into achieving success and bring to any role the hard work and discipline of a competitive athlete. I am excited to bring my work ethic, marketing and social network skills to an organization where I can grow personally, be part of a great team and help them achieve their goals.
