Eagle Scout
- Held multiple troop leadership roles, including Senior Patrol Leader and Webmaster.

As a Boy Scout, I learned the value of strong leadership through multiple Positions of Responsibility: Den Chief, Historian, Web Master, SPL, ASPL, OA Representative, and Junior Assistant Scout Master. I attended NYLT and later returned to staff NYLT. These experiences built practical skills in teamwork, teaching through the EDGE method, patience, social communication, conflict resolution, motivation, and mentoring younger scouts. These lessons continue to shape my professional and personal leadership style.
