Community Service
Throughout high school I held a number of leadership positions in my extra curricular activities, including Section Leader and Dance Captain for several years. Outside of school I was also volunteering at my church to lead and care for children ages one to thirteen. Aside from school and work opportunities I have also volunteered at Horses for Handicap and Camp Kaleidoscope, an over-night summer camp for children and adults with Autism. As a member of the Phi Mu sorority at Mississippi State University, I participate in several annual fundraising events to assist in providing monetary donations to our local Salvation Army, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals (Le Bonheur Children's Hospital), and Compassion International.
