Bio

Inspired by the memory of my deceased brother, Mitchell, I am committed to obtaining a degree in sports medicine and playing collegiate football. His relentless drive and tenacity inspires me to strive for academic and athletic success. I am a hardworking, disciplined person who seeks to honor his memory through my accomplishments and volunteer work. A scholarship would enable me to keep working toward my objectives and leave a lasting impact on my academic, athletic, and volunteer endeavors.
