My background as a competitive athlete, coupled with my extensive volunteer work and leadership experience, has equipped me with the ability to motivate, teach, and inspire athletes both on and off the court. During my collegiate career as a member of the Towson University Basketball Team, I was honored as Male Rookie of the Year and selected for the CAA All-Rookie Team, achievements that reflect my dedication, discipline, and ability to perform at a high level. My commitment to basketball extends beyond personal performance; I have volunteered for initiatives such as the Autism Awareness Basketball Camps, Towson University Special Olympics, and the North Carolina State Special Olympics, where I engaged with athletes of all ages and abilities to promote teamwork, skill development, and confidence. My passion for basketball began early, playing for Christ School and the East Coast Fusion Travel Basketball Team, and attending elite training opportunities such as the NBPA Top 100 Camp and Chris Paul’s Top 25 Point Guard Camp. These experiences exposed me to world-class coaching and advanced training methods that I now strive to share with others. I am confident that my competitive experience, leadership skills, and commitment to community engagement make me a strong candidate to help train and mentor athletes.
