As a student-athlete and entrepreneur, I’ve spent my college career balancing the intense demands of being a safety on the Wake Forest football team with building a wellness startup, Ascend. My journey is one of resilience, innovation, and growth—transforming challenges into opportunities both on and off the field...
…Ascend is a meditation and wellness app aimed at helping people find balance in their busy lives, inspired by my experiences managing the pressures of athletics, academics, and entrepreneurship. I’m passionate about sharing actionable insights on leadership, discipline, and starting a business from the ground up, especially as a full-time student. Listeners will leave with strategies for achieving balance, stories of perseverance, and inspiration to pursue their passions—whether they’re on a field, in a classroom, or starting their own venture.
