Extracurricular activities
I was on the Biola University volleyball team for 5 years, 2 of those years I was named a captain. I learned positive characteristics, such as team building, learning how to thrive under pressure, and manage conflict well between players. I was coachable and remained a calm presence for the team, and I know these characteristics have prepared me for the workplace.
