LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT As an active Collegiate Softball player, my position as Class Captain allows me to use my leadership skills on and off the field. Being a collegiate athlete has also allowed me to build my skills as a teammate on and off the field. The game is all about working together to produce a favorable outcome and I think that applies to many team driven jobs. As an Underclassman I have become very adept to exemplifying the role my upperclassman leaders and coaches have wanted me to take. In addition to playing, I also Coached a recreational 8 and Under team and the succeeding All-Star Team. As a Coach, it was necessary for me to teach and lead the kids into games with confidence that everything they put into the game would have a good outcome. In addition to coaching, I have also worked with the Staten Island Zoo during their Children�s Spook Night for the last two years. Wagner College has given me the opportunity to develop a strong relationship with many of the Islands communities. These also include the Sunrise Assisted Living home and the local hospital. I have also involved myself in the local soup kitchen every other Sunday.
