Summary
I’m motivated by a desire to help people and create environments where others can thrive. Success is best accomplished when it is shared, and I find satisfaction from helping people around me accomplish their objectives.
I'm dependable, enthusiastic, and always seeking to advance both professionally and personally. I bring strong communication skills, empathy, and a commitment to doing things with excellence, whether that be in teamwork, helping others, or taking the lead in certain circumstances.
I want to set a good example and be a servant leader—someone who prioritizes the needs of others over their own, listens intently, and consistently motivates people to grow with me.

Volunteer Service
The Shepherd’s House – a homeless shelter for veterans. Before COVID-19, my family, friends, and I
would go there once a month to serve the homeless. We would bring them dinner, play games
together, and share a short encouraging message.
(2012-2020)
Grace Gathering Church – twice a month, I volunteered with the tech team at my church. This involved setting up
equipment, running sound and/or slides for the service, and tearing down the equipment. In
addition, I served in both children’s and middle school youth ministry.
(2016-2023)
Champions Together – The High School I attended offers a program to engage its special needs
population by playing sports with them. This required empathy, focus, and the ability to build
community with those different than me.
(2019-2023)
Tutoring – I tutored a middle school student in core subjects. During our weekly meetings, I helped
him understand new concepts, complete homework, and develop stronger study habits. This
required patience and attention to detail.
(2022-2023)
Young Life Capernaum – Capernaum is a ministry to people with special needs. During a typical
meeting, we play games, sing songs, and preach the gospel to those with disabilities. We try to help
these kids form relationships with their peers and the Lord.
