Sigma Phi Epsilon - University of Illinois

3 a great full-time position, I will have to take risks. I have done this in the past by applying and landing a leadership conference at my dream company, BP, and networking with executives at investment management firms to expand my network. My end goal is to find a job that I enjoy and that challenges me. I believe I am on the right path for that. In regard to sports, I share the same passion as it seems Jeff did. Growing up, I played every sport I could and I have only held jobs that involve sports. I have been a baseball umpire for the past eight years and have been a ten- nis instructor for the past three. In addition, I even made the traveling club tennis team at the university in the fall of 2017. is year, I volunteered as a youth basketball coach for the Champaign Park District. ere were a total of four teams coached by SigEps, which made for some fun competition when our teams played. I really enjoy combining my passion for sports and working with children by coaching, and look forward to volunteer- ing again next spring. Overall, Jeff showed a drive and passion for whatever he was involved in. Whether it was school, sports, or SigEp, he gave it his all and I believe I have done the same for my two- plus years at this university.
