Sports Resume'
Ambassador for high school boys' volleyball in the state of North Carolina in particular for the Raleigh area. My role has been to help grow the sports of boys’ volleyball teams from middle to high school, speak with local athletic directors, Board of Directors or sponsors, and host volleyball skills training sessions year-round to promote the sport. It is my hope to also share the sport through clinics with more minority communities as an alternative to traditional sports.

- Officiate high school volleyball games (DF# 23-5052-5630) since 2023.
Volleyball Ambassador. January 2023, I started the first boys' volleyball team in the Triangle Area at my school. My high school position is playing all around. My school hosted the first official high school boys' volleyball match in the Triangle Area. This event was captured by ABC 11 News in the Raleigh-Triangle area (check out the press release video). During the news interview, I spoke about the process of initiating the school's boys' volleyball team and its impact for schools.
Handcraft blankets to sell in an annual market place or donate to those in need. My academic background is very solid with my favorite subject’s math, science, and Spanish (fluent).

Deuce Ross II
