Since September 2024, I have volunteered with James Madison Dukes Football Team in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I manage crowd flow, patrol restricted areas, and enforce security policies at large, fast paced sporting events. This role has sharpened my ability to remain calm under pressure, adapt in real time, and make quick, safety focused decisions.
At the NCAA Women’s Final Four in April 2024, I learned to anticipate crowd movements in a fast-paced environment. Collaborating with local coordinators and venue staff showed me the value of clear communication and teamwork. I saw how attention to detail—such as adjusting VIP seating on the fly—enhances guest satisfaction and safety.
I served as an assistant coach for a high school girls’ basketball team in Harrisonburg, Virginia. I guided athletes in teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship while developing tailored training drills and game plans. By filming and reviewing matches, I provided targeted feedback to help each player grow. During games, I made on-the-spot coaching adjustments that boosted individual skills .

Working on customer relations and transportation logistics taught me the importance of clear stakeholder communication and careful planning. Overseeing VIP areas and sponsor needs showed me how attention to detail and a service mindset can elevate an event’s success.
