Summary
Driven and passionate, I leveraged teamwork and problem-solving skills at Jacksonville High School to support staff and streamline operations, significantly enhancing efficiency. I also play college softball at JSU where I have been a three year starter. I have learned how to succeed in the classroom as well as the softball field. With all that I do I love fully and do everything with passion and hard work. Alongside playing softball and being an intern, I was a tutor at Houston Cole Library, I motivated students, fostering confidence and academic success. Before starting my career at JSU I poured into my hometown and the athletes there as much as possible. I thought I could do that by coaching the middle school softball team my senior year of high school. My tenure as Buford Middle School's coach, leading to a county championship, showcases my leadership and ability to inspire. Whatever God has in store for me, I know that I will do it with passion and admiration. I want to be the best version of myself as well as making those around me better.
