  • College Bound at Bugg Elementary                                                                2011-2013

I volunteered at an Elementary school that taught a majority of minority, unprivileged students. In my experience I assisted with teacher kids in three different areas: Academics, Arts, and Athletics. I spoke with a group of kids about going to college and the importance of school and grades. Being a black male already in college showed some of the students that it was possible and gave them hope of one day they would go to college as well.

  • Helping  coach Capital Area Soccer League Teams                                         2013

I went out and coached soccer teams for Capital Area Soccer League. Through this experience I ran a practice with over 15 different teams teaching them about proper nutrition before and after a practice, as well as on game day. I taught proper techniques in the fundamentals of soccer such as passing, shooting, and defending. Finally, with the older age groups, I did a plyometric workout that college athletes go through.
