Supporting student-athletes should be the center of every NCAA athletics department. I am working with a diligent team of dedicated individuals to enhance the lives and experiences of the student-athletes at the University of Massachusetts. Student-athlete development is the focal point of my work. I reach out to campus partners and external services, as well as utilize online comprehensive collaboration systems to ensure that systems are set up for student-athletes to be successful.

I became a representative for my athletics team in my Sophomore year. Since then I have continued on the committee. Within our committee, I was elected captain of the Student-Athlete Welfare working group. This group focuses on voicing concerns and issues from the student-athletes, meeting with authority figures such as the Athletic Director of the the University, and brainstorming ways to better the student-athlete experience. Our group as a whole is responsible for representing the student-athletes on and off the court. Some of these responsibilities are: organizing community service involvement, improvement of facilities and equipment, helping elect athletic department officials, and relaying updates back to our teams.

I am currently a three season student-athlete at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am on the Cross Country and Track and Field team and was granted the position as Captain in my Junior Year. While being a full-time student, throughout the year I devote about 25 hours a week to training and competing. This have helped me excel in time-management, communication and teamwork skills, leadership expertise, and has aided me in developing a competitive attitude on and off the field.

I started working as an Office Assistant at the School of Public Health and Health Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the summer of my Junior Year. I decided to continue working about eight hours weekly throughout the school year as well. Since starting employment, I have implemented many systems for workplace organization by transferring years of clients files from paper to computer.

I was employed at Whole Foods Market for the summer before my Junior year. During my duration, I was held responsible to meet customer satisfaction and complete transactions during check out. As time elapsed, I was asked to take on new roles as opening and closing captain. I was in charge of prepping cash registers for the daily flow of customers, along with organizing food stations. Working at Whole Foods Market taught me how to handle different situations where I needed to accommodate for customers needs. I now feel confident being able to help and lead a diverse group of people.
