Affiliations

  • Tabletop games

Requires creativity, organization, and leadership skills to properly organize games, teamwork, compromise, and conflict resolution are all skills I have used and developed within this hobby. Communication is the core of tabletop games, and I have always communicated effectively to have them run smoothly and clear any issues This also pertains to quick and efficient numeracy and other arithmetic skills, which are used frequently

  • Rock climbing

requires a high level of physical fitness to complete, but also creativity, ingenuity, and critical thinking in finding the most efficient path and safe pathway to the top, and it also requires persistence and resilience to reach higher, as well as compromise in failure

  • Video Gaming

I tend to gravitate toward games that require the employment of strategy, resilience, and the understanding of detailed systems to find coherence and maximize the effectiveness of approaches, It also requires assessment of situations, high patience, and commitment for desired outcomes, Most importantly, many games that I enjoy require high levels of teamwork and communication to reach desired outcomes, as well as personal responsibility
