ST. LOUIS

Summary

Sports official with 5 years of experience, adept at ensuring fair play and professionalism in sports events. Demonstrates strong skills in team building, public speaking, and problem-solving while effectively coordinating with officials and event staff. With aspirations to advance in athletic leadership roles, I strive to fight complacency. I am eager to get my feet wet with a larger organization as I seek a professional career in the sports world. Working with younger crowds is something I am aware is ahead, and I have made it a point to note the feedback I get when engaging with said crowds and improve upon my communication skills. Any opportunities, such as internships, apprenticeships, or chances to pick up on knowledge from those willing to help are greatly appreciated.
