MJ DEMARTIN

Fairfield

Summary

I attended Southern Connecticut State University, graduating in 2023 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Recreation and Leisure. Recreation is my desired fit because I am passionate about sports, activities, town events, camps, nature, helping to motivate people, and most importantly bringing the community together. I’m also an avid runner & skier, and enjoy being active.
