Summary

I bring a unique combination of leadership, communication, and advocacy skills developed through my experience as both a high-level parasport coach and team captain, as well as a disability awareness speaker. As a coach and captain, I excel in strategic thinking, team development, and mentoring athletes to achieve peak performance. I lead by example, fostering collaboration, resilience, and a strong team culture. As a disability awareness speaker, I use storytelling and lived experience to educate and inspire audiences, promoting inclusion, accessibility, and understanding. Together, these roles reflect my ability to motivate, teach, and create meaningful change both on and off the court.
