I am originally from upstate South Carolina, and recently graduated from Clemson University in 2021. Through experiences at Clemson it awakened an innate feeling in me to help others no matter what path I chose to walk in life. Growing up I was very active and played sports as much as possible. In high school I discovered lacrosse and fell in love with the fast pace grit of the game. Through this I learned how to perform as a team to achieve a shared goal. I took my performance on the field fairly seriously, at least more serious than most of my teammates, as pushing my own body past the limits I thought it had has always been an enjoyable challenge. When I lock onto a goal or achieve it, I push all my chips to the center and go all in with no stopping until I decide I have finished what I started.
