Summary

I am an individual who approaches work with extreme dedication and passion. Whatever I undertake, I give it my all. My experiences fully validate this claim. From high school through now, I have maintained a deep love for sports. Even after graduating high school without becoming a collegiate athlete, I joined the University of Connecticut men's basketball team—six-time national champions—as a student manager. This was an exceptionally valuable opportunity. During my time as a student manager, I mastered various statistical software tools and honed my communication and teamwork skills to accomplish tasks collaboratively. This experience significantly strengthened my capabilities and patience, as we worked over 25 hours per week in total.
