Cherokee has presented me with a variety of challenges, whether it be through rigorous courses, organizing and promoting school events, or trying to manage time in the life of a student-athlete.”

Community Service: I volunteer for the Sports Unity organization to give all athletes in the local area an opportunity to get outside and participate in a variety of sports.

Lastly, I am the Co-founder of a podcast called Bro Cave Sports where we donate a portion of our proceeds to the Marlton Recreation Council for young athletes who cannot afford equipment/fees.

Career Aspirations: After college, I am looking to enter the world of finance and economics.

The long-term goal that I have is to one day have the freedom to own my own business.
