Summary

Being involved in competitive sports from the early age of 5 until I was 21 provided me with numerous essential skills that I continue to use in my day-to-day life. I am a punctual individual with an analytical mind who consistently demonstrates strong initiative. Being part of a team throughout my life allowed me to develop excellent interpersonal skills, taught me how to adapt to various environments and situations, and showed me how to overcome setbacks with a positive attitude. I am a quick learner with a strong work ethic and always complete any task I am given. My experiences in sports, volunteering, and work have also shaped me into a self-motivated and hardworking individual who consistently demonstrates strong communication and leadership skills.
