Summary

I am a person who has been involved in sports my whole life, which has helped shape my work ethic, discipline, and ability to perform under pressure. In 2022, I had the opportunity to be part of the Ballcrew at the US Open, where I was surrounded by top-level tennis players and professionals where I gained firsthand the experience in a high-pressure environment. Outside of playing sports, I have also been involved in the community; refereeing hockey, umpiring baseball, and helping younger kids improve their strength and skills in different sports. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, which gives me the confidence to act quickly and responsibly in unexpected situations. Whether it’s through sports, work, or helping others, I bring energy, reliability, and a positive attitude to everything I do.
