Mamma, I made it!

Sports Changes Life came to Siena College and spoke about the Victory Scholar program. After halfway into their presentation they didn’t have to convince me anymore. I knew this is what I wanted to do!! I was fortunate to receive the news that they were accepting me into their prestigious program months later. It was an honor when I found out that I had been selected to be a Victory Scholar. I was very thrilled and anxious about starting this new journey with the Sports Changes Life family. My parents and I were very thrilled and couldn’t wait to get started with the process. After applying I was lucky enough to surpass two interviews and become selected to one of 23 tremendous scholars from all over the US. It had always been a dream of mine to travel the world with the game of basketball. Thanks to Sports Changes Life, I’m blessed to teach the importance of sport changing lives to youth all across Ireland. Not to mention the fact that I can continue my education and earn my Master’s in Coaching and Sports Development. Last but not least I can continue playing the game of basketball for two teams (club and college team).  I look forward to growing as a person, coach, student and basketball player. Be sure to stay tuned for my blogs and follow me on this amazing journey!
