The most rewarding part of Shubrooks’ career is being a role model to those around him 和 in his community. He enjoys providing opportunities for those who don’t have support 和 encouraging them to reach their full potential.
Shubrooks’ Shen和oah education prepared him for his career by teaching him to be mindful of the experiences some people may go through compared to others. “By being able to speak on my experiences, 和 how they molded me into the person I am today, I am able to show those within my career that you are able to overcome any obstacle you may face if you set your mind to it,“Shubrooks.
