10 MINUTES GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT!!
Determination and competitiveness have always been a couple of my strong characteristics. Being an Exercise Science major, those characteristics have been highlighted through my rigorous coursework. In one of my classes, I volunteered to be the participant in a VO2 Max Lab. VO2 Max is the maximal amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense or maximal exercise. During this lab, I ran on a treadmill for 10 minutes during increased intervals while wearing a face mask that gathered data about my VO2 max.
Challenges occurred during this lab making it harder for me to complete it. With the face masks causing problems, I still managed to work through the adversity in order to complete the lab. The participant before me had reached 10 minutes, and with my competitive nature, I had already told myself that I was going to beat that time. Sure enough, I did just that. Being strong-willed goes a long way for my future endeavors of being an Athletic Trainer.

Service to All Mankind. Helping others in any way possible has always been a desire of mine. Over the years I have tied my desire to help others with the sports industry.
Over the summer, I got the chance to intern with my high school football team and volleyball team. In doing so, I gained better knowledge about athletic training. Soon, I should be interning for the Razorbacks.
My future career plans consist of becoming an Athletic Trainer for the NBA or NFL. In doing so, I would get to work with athletes and help them better themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Over the Summer, I had a Tik Tok blow up across their platform and on Instagram. Showcasing my athletic capabilities, I gained a huge liking of over 500,000 likes on Tik Tok and a close amount following that on Instagram. In this Tik Tok, I created a minute long video showcasing some of my best moments in sports throughout basketball, softball, volleyball, track, and cheer. This Tik Tok was solely created to show my work ethic from a sports point of view, and with some of the feedback I received, I feel like I accomplished just that!
