Summary

I am a dedicated and self-motivated individual with a B.A. in Psychology with a deep passion for understanding the psychological aspects of athletic performance and well-being. Through my coursework and research in areas like exercise, social, and cognitive psychology, as well as on the ethics of sport, I've attained a deeper understanding of the experiences and perspectives of individuals with diverse backgrounds. This foundation is further strengthened by my hands-on experience as a student-athlete and leader, where I developed crucial skills such as discipline, perseverance, teamwork, and empathy.

As a fitness technician with a proven track record at CU Boulder Recreational Services, I excel in diverse team collaboration and crisis intervention. I have been recognized for enhancing operational efficiency and mentoring new staff. I am skilled in behavior management and data analysis, ensuring a safe and organized environment while fostering positive relationships.
