    Personal Leadership Benchmarks
  • Basketball - League CHAMPS!

    In the 8th grade, my team won the league championship. At the time, I was rather timid in my playing style. Before one of the final games, my coach pulled me aside to simply say - BE CONFIDENT. I believe this was the beginning of believing in myself and being confident in my abilities. While the game was significant at the time, it was the lessons learned that have helped to shape the person I am today.
  • Kairos Retreat

    In high school, I was quite shy and kept to myself. During the 11th grade, I attended a Kairos retreat that opened my eyes to world around me. I became so much more confident in myself and with the the relationships I had with others
  • Kairos Leader

    In my senior year, I was provided the opportunity to lead a Kairos retreat - the retreat that has such a great impact on me. This experience was the beginning of my understanding that any and all people can be a leader!
  • Orientation Staff

    Working with the Orientation Staff in college was the largest impact that any event had on my leadership style. Because of this experience, I blossomed into a leader and have not looked back.
  • Study Abroad

    Living in London, UK for about 5 months was one of the most rewarding experience in my life. Being forced to live on my own and learn/make decisions on my own led to increased maturity.
  • First job

    In my first job, I was required to travel across the country training sales professionals. It forced me to grow up quickly and to find ways to connect with all types of people - from all different age groups!
  • Alumni Volunteer

    After working for a year in the private sector, I took a step away to become a full time volunteer for one year. This year led me to a better understanding of who I am and what makes me happy.
  • Walsh Jesuit

    Working at Walsh Jesuit has been a true blessing and has helped to make me a well rounded leader. Working on the mission and identity side has opened my eyes to the real purpose of Jesuit education - which allows me to help students develop on a daily basis.
  • WJ Baseball Coach

    Accepting the job of WJ Assistant Baseball Coach is one of the best thing that has ever happened to me - leading others and learning on a daily basis.
