What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a dynamic role where I can coach or support teams, apply event and fan engagement, and use business and communication strengths to build community and help people reach measurable goals.

I’m a four-year NCAA student-athlete with a strong foundation in business management and sports coaching. I bring proven leadership, time management, and discipline developed through competing at a high level while staying focused on team development and individual growth.

As a volunteer AAU basketball coach, I coached a freshman girls team with an emphasis on post player skill development, planned structured practice sessions, and helped build a positive, disciplined culture. I also developed strengths in communication, mentoring, and keeping players motivated to achieve clear goals.

Beyond coaching, I’ve coordinated deliveries and supported fast-paced warehouse work by ensuring accurate, timely operations and maintaining organized systems. I’m ready to leverage athletic discipline and strategic thinking in a dynamic professional environment that values community engagement, collaboration, and measurable progress.
