Summary
Throughout my time at Benedict College, I excelled academically as a Social Work major while actively participating in various activities and organizations prioritizing community service. This allowed me to develop and refine leadership, collaboration, and creativity skills through meaningful involvement on campus and in the community. I hosted impactful events and took part in community-wide initiatives, holding leadership positions such as Secretary, Miss Sophomore, and Miss Benedict. These roles provided me with the opportunity to serve as an ambassador for the college, effectively representing the student body and fostering a strong sense of community.
