Ryan Panessa

Selected as a regional Ambassador, recruiting aspiring golfers for one-on-one instruction. I tailor each lesson to the individual golfer's experience and was recognized by TaylorMade for significant contributions to the organization.

Volunteer at least 20 hours per year for various Atlanta organizations; organize monthly business meetings, recruit speakers on relevant topics, educate new members about volunteer opportunities, and shared my own volunteer experiences.

Founded the ACA Investment Club in 9th grade, successfully recruiting members at a club fair and tripled membership year over year. I developed a curriculum covering investment basics and organized speakers from the financial industry. I researched and managed a "mock" trading portal for club members to apply investment strategies, awarding prizes for highest rates of return.

Contributed to establishment of ACA golf team; recruited members, assisted coaches with tournament line-ups, identified ways for saving on green's fees through the Youth on Course to increase participation. Coach's MVP Award.
