LEADERSHIP & EXPERIENCE

LEARNING TO LEAD THROUGH RESPONSIBILITY

Leadership is something I’m continuing to develop through real experiences that challenge me to communicate, take responsibility, support others, and follow through.

CAREER CONNEXIONS STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM [St. Xavier High School | 2026–2027]

As a member of the Career ConneXions Student Leadership Team, I help connect classmates with career exploration and professional development opportunities while developing my own leadership and communication skills.

My Focus: Leadership • Peer Engagement • Communication • Career Exploration

JR. FARM MANAGER [Efinity Harvest]

Working on the farm gives me the opportunity to lead through action. I help guide youth during farm and market activities, teach planting and farm maintenance skills, assist with growing and harvesting, and engage with customers at local farmers markets.

‍ ‍What It’s Teaching Me: Dependability • Leadership • Mentoring • Responsibility

ATHLETICS

COMPETE. LEARN. IMPROVE.

Sports challenge me physically and mentally. They’ve taught me the importance of preparation, communication, resilience, and doing my part for the team.

FOOTBALL‍ ‍[St. Xavier High School]

Football challenges me to prepare with purpose, stay disciplined, communicate, and contribute to the team through consistent effort.

Developing: Discipline • Toughness • Teamwork • Coachability

BASKETBALL‍

Basketball has helped me develop court awareness, communication, adaptability, and the ability to contribute wherever my team needs me.

‍ ‍Developing: Awareness • Communication • Energy • Adaptability

STEM & ENGINEERING

CURIOSITY INTO SOLUTIONS

Through coding, entrepreneurship, technology, and hands-on STEM experiences, I’m exploring how ideas can become practical solutions while continuing to build my interest in engineering.

Exploring: Engineering • Technology • Innovation • Problem-Solving

SERVICE & COMMUNITY

LEADING BY HELPING OTHERS

Service has taught me that leadership also means showing up for others. Through mentoring younger youth, working alongside my family, and participating in community experiences, I’m learning the value of encouragement, responsibility, and leading by example.

Building: Service • Mentorship • Responsibility • Community
