Summary
As a dedicated professional with a rich background in competitive hockey, I bring a unique blend of teamwork, communication, and relentless work ethic to the business and development sectors. Having played hockey at high levels, including local, out-of-town, and professional stages in Europe, I've developed as an athlete and as a person who thrives in collaborative settings, excels in problem-solving, and is always eager to learn and improve. My experience in sports has ingrained in me the importance of clear communication, quick learning, and efficiency, qualities that are directly transferable to the dynamic demands of the business world.
Currently advancing my academic career with a Business Minor and a Communications Major at Simon Fraser University, I am passionate about applying the lessons learned from hockey, such as strategic thinking, adaptability, and the drive for excellence, to my pursuit of a career in business and development. I am committed to bringing my strong teamwork foundation, proactive approach to challenges, and dedication to continual growth to your organization. Eager to contribute my skills and learn from the best, I am looking for opportunities that will allow me to blend my athletic discipline with my passion for business innovation and development.
