I’m the founder of the Among Warriors Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping underprivileged youth gain access to sports and mentorship with the aim of empowering them to operate at a level of excellence. I plan to major in business or medicine, and desire to continue building a life that encompasses purpose, performance, and impact.
