POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

2 years ago I made one of the toughest decisions of my life, I decided to go back to school and make a full career switch at 27 years old. Afraid of starting over and worrying about what people would think, I did it anyways.

In 2017, I made the decision to dropout from college. I didn’t know what I wanted to do, I switched majors prolly like 5 times before deciding to drop out. Everyone said college was the place to discover yourself, but I couldn’t find out who I was or what I wanted to be so I left school.

8 years later, I decided to go back to school to become a sports psychologist and help people like me who struggled with transitioning into life after sports. I also would love to help athletes find their confidence, something I struggled with. Within 1 year back, I obtained my Associates in Psychology from @bhccboston taking my first steps towards a goal I set.

9 years later, I obtained my Bachelors degree in Psychology from @umasslowell and made a full career switch. I’m now a Teacher, teaching Physical Education while I still move forward with my plan of becoming a sports psychologist.

My journey is far from done but I say all this because YOU CAN DO IT. Whatever it is that you been hesitant on, whether it’s a career change, a small business idea, going for a promotion, finding new hobbies, YOU CAN DO IT. Dare yourself to step out of your comfort. Dare yourself to take the risk of going after everything you ever wanted because YOU ARE MORE THAN CAPABLE AND DESERVING OF IT ALL.

To think in just 2 years how much my life has changed. I never thought I was capable of finishing school and felt trapped in a career hated. But reaching this milestone is such an accomplishment and the things I discovered about myself along the journey has only made me more confident in who I am and the things I’m capable of.

Find your journey, trust and appreciate the process, find you and your confidence, and create memories along the way.

Thank you to my family, thank you to those that became family, and thank you to everyone who continues to support me throughout my journey. LOVE YALL 💙

Summer Vlog: 1/3

Is it Summer without hoops?! I can’t believe it’s been a year since I played in the Asian Tourney Scene and I couldn’t be happier! To think a year ago I was laid up in bed, thinking I was done with basketball and now im starting my summer in York, like where and who would have thought 😂.

I missed a basketball weekend getaway with the guys, just hoops and vibes.

Come enjoy York, PA with me and the guys of Flight School ✈️ 🏀

Transition and change can be a scary thing. For me I grew up and spent so much of my life playing basketball. When it was time to turn in my basketball for a shirt and tie, I struggled. I still struggle.

Life is about evolving and just because one chapter of your life is coming to an end, doesn’t mean your life is over. A new pursuit just needs your time and attention, I know you going to own you journey 🫶🏽

Forever grateful to be playing.

Falling in love with basketball again and I couldn’t be happier. The safe haven basketball provides whether I’m playing or just shooting around, is unreal.

But NOT GOING TO LIE, love me a tournament! That feeling competition brings is always going to be unmatched. What a weekend of hoops 🏀⛹🏻‍♂️.

Battle of Asia was a 🎥. LOVE REPPING MY COUNTRY 🇰🇭

I’m forever grateful for you.

After my injury, I just didn’t have the same love and desire to play, it was like I gave up on you because my body wasn’t the same or maybe because when I look at you it makes me feel like a failure for never reaching my potential.

Looking now, I’m just happy to be playing you. You are my peace, my safe haven, you make me feel alive and I forgot that.

You showed me that because we are told to “grow up” doesn’t mean we stop doing things that bring us joy. It means we just have to take a step-back to create some space for other things.

Thank you for being here, love you always 🧡🏀

At times, your’re going to beat yourself up and try to talk yourself out of pursuing your passion.

It’s easy to listen to the doubt and fear BUT that feeling when it all pays off is unreal and indescribable.

You vs You.

Believe in yourself and trust the process 🫶🏼
