Asset Management

Teaching young players in a fun, competitive environment, I improved my leadership, public speaking, and team effectiveness skills.

In 2017 I transferred to Ohio State for one key reason: I wanted the more competitive soccer experience I could get at a Division I school.And while I found—and greatly valued—that experience, I also found an exciting educational environment and many opportunities to learn and demonstrate leadership. Skills mastered and lessons learned …► ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING — through major coursework in Financial Accounting, Auditing, Accounting Information Systems, Tax Accounting, Cost Accounting, and Tax Research► ECONOMICS — through dual-major studies that included Microeconomic Theory, Economics of Sports, World Economic Development, Labor Economics, and Industrial Relations► TIME MANAGEMENT — balancing the heavy coursework of a double major with an intense athletic commitment (20+ hours per week)► TEAMWORK — experiencing the camaraderie and shared accomplishment that comes from working together, working hard, and achieving common goals► LEADERSHIP — stepping up after a losing season to turn things around by mentoring and inspiring my teammates; being chosen to attend an elite leadership class and a teambuilding experiential training program

My job was to help younger athletes improve their skills. I also worked hard to teach them good sportsmanship, teamwork, self-discipline, and other traits that will help them both in athletics and in life.

As a server for private parties, I quickly learned that good communication and attentive customer service were essential if I wanted happy customers and good tips!

I took on a leadership role in inspiring young players and helping them grow as soccer players.
