Benjamin Maher Email & Phone Number

I am a highly driven and involved sophomore student-athlete at Wheaton College, a faithfully Christian and academically rigorous institution. I am from Troy, Michigan, and I am living at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois during the school year. I am studying Business and Economics with a plan to complete an accelerated M.A. in Leadership and graduate with a B.A. and M.A. in 4.5 years total. I am a part of the Men's Track & Field team at Wheaton College, and I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I am also a Wheaton College Student Ambassador, and a member of the Student Managed Investment Fund. I earned an unweighted 4.0 GPA from Troy Athens High School and received individual awards at graduation. I received the "Activities Award" for participation in community service and non-profit fundraising, the "National School Orchestra Award" for my involvement in my high school's symphony orchestra, and the "Athletic Award" for my time with the soccer and track & field teams at my high school. I was a captain of both the soccer and track & field teams my senior year, in addition to being the student government's executive vice president, and being a part of the National Honors Society. I received the Chick-fil-A Remarkable Futures Leadership Scholarship, as well as the highest merit scholarship from Wheaton College, and the Troy Education Association Scholarship.I have worked at Chick-fil-A Shelby Township, Saint Christine's Christian Services, and Soccer World. During my four years in my high school's student council, I had three great opportunities (three not four because one was taken away due to COVID-19) to be a part of Troy Athens High School's Charity Week. This was a week(ish) long fundraising effort that is entirely student-led, and student-run. Over my three years running this event in leadership positions (Class President, Class President, and then Executive Vice President), I was a chairperson of five different committees and helped the school community raise over $400k for three different charities. I learned how to work with others well, how to lead and manage project teams, and how to communicate with different third-party corporate sponsors in many different markets like insurance, food service, the automotive industry, and more. The notable sponsorships I secured for this week included local Top Golf and Chick-fil-A locations, with many more minor sponsorships.
