Life & Career Milestones
My path in life took a while to figure out
1.
I started competing in gymnastics when I was 5 or 6, which started my foray into becoming a competitive athlete.
2.
I participated in model UN in middle and high school and now help run them. It helped me be motivated to always stand my ground and speak up.
3.
In my first semester of college, I went to Michigan State and realized it was not for me. It was a difficult time, but I transferred to Rutgers spring semester and it was the right decision to make.
4.
When I got to Rutgers, I met my two best friends and realized I was able to go through a difficult process of transferring colleges.
5.
Growing into myself over the years, especially through the pandemic.
6.
I moved to North Carolina for this job knowing no one in the state.
Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
Working in sports can daunting because the industry is always changing and is very unpredictable. One day your team can be on the top and the next you can not be. It is a very public facing entity and having to deal with it all can be difficult.
How I responded:
Whatever game you are working with, leave the game better than you left it. Remember to keep sight on why you are really there. Making the place and game better for the players and the generations before is something that keeps me grounded and allows me to keep pushing.
