Introduction
Fueled by a deep-seated passion for athletics, notably within the spheres of triathlons and multi-discipline sports, I embarked on my educational journey at Keiser University, enrolling in the Exercise Sports Science Management program and achieving Summa Cum Laude honors with a 3.97 GPA in 2022. Diving into competitive adult sprint triathlons at nine sparked an enthusiasm that defined my career path and aspirations. As I ascended to the status of a junior elite triathlete, I competed across the United States and on an international stage, deepening my dedication to and affection for these sports. Achieving my USA Triathlon Professional license in 2012 and conquering my first Ironman event in Lake Placid in 2013 were transformative milestones. These achievements laid the groundwork for the inception of VIP Tri-Training, through which I apply my expertise and enthusiasm to mentor triathletes across a spectrum of ages and capabilities, steering them toward achieving their goals. This coaching vocation has been extraordinarily fulfilling, allowing me to partake in the transformative journeys of individuals eager to realize their utmost potential.
Assuming the director role for the MWCC Multi-Sport Team revealed an additional passion: the design and orchestration of multi-sport events. This position afforded me a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of event management, from the initial planning stages to the flawless realization of each event. This sparked an interest that led me to further my education. I am working towards a master’s degree in Exercise Sports Science, emphasizing performance training at Concordia University Chicago, where I proudly hold a 4.0 GPA. As I advance in my Capstone Project, I am preparing to step into the same institution's Doctorate program in Exercise Sports Science. I aim to augment my impact within sports science, enhancing athlete development through pioneering research and pedagogical rigor. The prospect of completing my master’s degree this May signifies my ongoing commitment to the evolution of sports science to improve athlete performance and health.
