About

After completing 4 years as a professional hockey player, I bring a strong work ethic, discipline, and teamwork experience into each task I approach. I am confident in my ability to quickly adapt to new environments and thrive in roles that involve direct communication and public engagement. My academic foundation in economics, which also equips me with solid analytical and problem-solving skills. I am eager to contribute my unique blend of experiences and enthusiasm to a dynamic team.
