What do you enjoy most about being in your role?
I surprisingly really enjoy meeting new people and talking with the community. Growing up, I considered myself an introvert and pretty shy, not very outgoing.
This particular role with Major League Table Tennis allows me to travel every other weekend. I get to go to different cities I've never visited, explore, and meet people with different backgrounds.
Every place here in the US is so different, and the people growing up there have so many different talents and skills. It's interesting to see how they are gifted. I find that probably the most fun.
As well as encouraging a beginner, someone who's never experienced this sport before, and seeing them progress and get better. It's passionate when they want to tell their friends that they play and encourage other people to try it out.
