Summary
My commitment and interpersonal skills have allowed me throughout my life to find success in sporting, academic and personal pursuits. I am someone who feeds off of others due to having genuine compassion and care for those around me and I am able to excel in situations that involve dealing with others in a team or work environment. Having grown up watching my father run a business and working there every summer since I was 15 years old has taught me a variety of not only practical skills but has given me the ability to build relationships in the workplace and take on serious responsibilities in demanding roles. My connections I build with the people I meet and interact with is what drives me to strive to learn and succeed.
