Goals and interests
- Career goal
My goal is to become a school counselor and youth mentor, helping students overcome personal, academic, and social challenges. Through my background in psychology, coaching, and mentoring young athletes, I hope to positively impact the lives of students by providing guidance, support, and resources that help them succeed both in school and in life.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in pursuing a master’s degree in School Counseling, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, or a related field in psychology. My long-term goal is to expand my knowledge of human behavior, mental health, and youth development so I can better serve students, families, and communities.
- Outside the classroom
Basketball coaching and player development, mentoring youth, psychology and human behavior studies, fitness and health improvement, community service, barbering, entrepreneurship, leadership development, sports analytics, and spending time with family. I enjoy helping others reach their goals both on and off the court and continuously look for opportunities to learn, grow, and make a positive impact in my community.
