Summary
Being a professional athlete has taught me discipline, focus, and how to stay resilient under pressure—skills that have helped me both on and off the field. Coaching gave me the chance to build my leadership and communication skills, especially when working with kids from different backgrounds. My time as a sales assistant helped me get better at customer service, solving problems on the spot, and managing my time. Volunteering at a breast cancer clinic also taught me a lot about empathy, teamwork, and staying organized in sensitive situations. All of these experiences have shaped me into someone who can adapt and perform well in a variety of work settings.
