I remember growing up in a house full of cousins, constantly running around and competing in various sports. Cookouts, tailgates, and quality time is centered around sporting events. So, for many, it is a dream to play sports at the highest levels in front of family and friends. I was fortunate enough to get the chance and have some insight… Read more »
While working on Unilever’s supply chain digital transformation roadmap, I became passionate about digital ethics. With the increasing speed of digitization, an exponential number of questions are emerging. How do we balance personal privacy? How do we ensure unconscious bias is eliminated from algorithm creation? With technological innovation well ahead of public policy, to what standards should the private sector… Read more »
A few years back, Title IX was imposed by the NCAA in an attempt to equalize the number of male and female collegiate athletes. I am first proposing a survey regarding opinion on whether it was morally correct to eliminate sports and athletes from pursuing their passions because of this and then further that surgery with research and acknowledgment of… Read more »

When my brothers and I started, it was just a fun activity that we could all do together but over time it became more and more of our daily lives. And as time went on, tennis supplied… Read more »
