Best piece of advice this summer: That sports are people and understanding that has helped me tremendously.

Most satisfying aspect of the experience: Not only being able to be a part of such an amazing team at CSF and work on so many amazing events that are the heart of Charlotte, but to also visit the 14 other sites and understand how they operate as well. 

One word to describe the fellowship experience: Fulfilling. 

Expected achievement after 10 years: I hope to just be successful and love what I do.
