"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" -Tim Notke

 What are you passionate about and at what point/incident in your life did you recognize this passion is the key to your true path?

“My true passion lies in inspiring others to be the very best version of themselves that they can be. I aspire to use my passion to make a lasting impact within the world of sports. Since serving in various leadership capacities over the past few years, I have learned that actions are powerful and representation is everything. Everyone has a unique path for their life and if I can inspire just one person to explore that purpose, then my passion is not in vain.”

How do you use your passion to illuminate change in the world?

"‘Be the change that you wish to see in the world.’ Every opportunity that I pursue or accomplishment that I achieve is made with the intention to be a role model for those who look like me. To inspire others who are not always celebrated in the spaces that they deserve to be. This passion is exercised through mentorship, community outreach, always challenging myself to reach new heights, and more.”

If you could leave one lasting impression on others what would it be and why?

“If I could leave one lasting impression on others it would be to carry myself in a way that encourages others to be unapologetically themselves. Everyone has something special to offer the world that makes them unique and it should be embraced.”
