Background

About Tom Hawkins

Throughout my life, I've engaged in leadership roles for school and extracurriculars. Five years of MSHSL Speech experience and continued involvement in the program as a judge was the kickstart to my love of public speaking, confidence, and comfort in front of a group that I now exercise in most areas of my life. But besides the entertainer in me, I am a hard worker and have been on track to become a clinical mental health counselor since my sophomore year of high school. A wealth of vastly different jobs have also given me a variety of skills; I can install a water feature in a pond or grade group presentations in a biology lab. I'm proficient in many major computer programs (from Excel to Photoshop) and am a fast learner of new ones. I even know a bit about tools and fasteners! While studies keep me busy, that doesn't mean I don't have time for hobbies. I've been an artist most of my life, with my preferred mediums being clay, paint, and pen. I'm also a published author of short fiction on The NoSleep Podcast and wrote sketches for the comedy group I performed with at my Alma mater.
