My Travel Story

Hi everyone! To those that know me and to those that don't, sports has always been a massive influence in my life. From a little girl, I have always been involved in sports like softball, basketball, volleyball, and flag football. Basketball eventually became my main priority and after recieving multiple awards within basketball, my journey came to an unfortunate hault. I suffered from 2 torn ACLs and a torn menisucs. After years of not playing sports competitively, I found my way back to what I love most.

As a result of me finding my way back to sports and attempting to shift my career to reflect that, I decided to participate in an international volunteer program. The program that I will a part of in this upcoming November will be focused on sports development within the youth in Jamaica. As a Sports Development volunteer in Jamaica, I will play a leading role in teaching local school children and wider community members a range of sports. A close friend of mine is also deeply involved in sports and participated in this same program last year and it has been a great influence on my decision to join her in this coming November. This opportunity is unlike anything I have ever done or had the ability to do; and with the help of you all, it will actually be able to come into fruition. 

The money raised will go towards all program fees, airfare, and even equipment to bring with me to support the youth there that do not have these same resources. There is no amount too small, any contribution is immensely appreciated.
Thank you in advance and God bless you.
