    • Concordia university, st. paul

      Attending and consistently working hard throughout the school year at practices, games, and track meets. During the spring I was also required to juggle both spring soccer and track. I worked almost everyday with my teammates and coaches towards a common goal of getting better throughout every season. During track I competed in the 400 meter dash, 1600 meter relay and pole vault. I started almost every soccer match all four years of college and have the record for most minutes played. Coordinate events for clients which involved setting up, taking down and managing events for clients renting out the school's facilities.
