Summary

As captain of the Canadian National Basketball Team, I led our squad to a bronze medal at the national level, showcasing my dedication and athleticism. I built a strong team culture by encouraging collaboration and improving team dynamics, which boosted both performance and morale. I also organized fundraising efforts that successfully raised money for team activities, highlighting my skills in organization and communication.
My commitment to rigorous training inspired my teammates to reach their personal bests, contributing to our overall success. I developed and implemented strategies to tackle challenges during competitions, which enhanced our team's adaptability and resilience. My experience with the Pepperdine University Men's Basketball Team further sharpened my leadership and problem-solving skills in a competitive setting.
These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills in leadership, communication, and strategic planning, which I can apply both on and off the court.
