Lawrence Vigna
Summary
I bring a blend of a discipline, organized, calm, and collaborative attitude to my academics, work, and volunteer placements. I have experience spanning from being a filing clerk in a more serious business, to casually coaching and mentoring students of varying ages in academics and sports. I have many external skills/hobbies such as being in bands and playing many instruments, CPR-C Lay Rescuer Certification (Perri-Med First Aid and CPR Training), achieving the level of a black-belt in Goju-ryu Karate, and more.
