  • Leadership
  • Project SPF (Sun Protection for Fishermen) – Founder (2011-present)
    • This organization is dedicated to raising awareness regarding sun protection and skin cancer to members of the high-risk recreational and commercial fishing community. Our mission is accomplished by displaying educational materials and providing sunscreens via exhibition booths at local fishing tournaments. We also engage in personal interactions with fishermen to discuss their sun exposure habits, skin cancer risks, and preventive measures.
