Leadership Experience
I’ve played hockey since the age of 3. I’ve been an assistant leader for multiple years as well for my last two years of hockey I’ve been selected as a captain by my teammates. I climbed up the ranking ladders in a massive construction company at a young age. In class we had a big team project valued at 35% of our grade, with ease I took control of the project and managed it to my fullest and received a 98% on the project as well as good comments from the professor and as well from classmates.
