Accomplishments
I belong to the PTK and NSLS honor society student organizations. I then learned leadership skills and the ability to work with a diverse group of students, also incorporating inclusion. I had the honor of becoming the president of a student organization called Active Minds, which focused on healthy mental stability and created a safe place for students to seek out help from our advisors, who were our counselors on campus. We created events that focus on the awareness of sexual assault and allow survivors to gain healing and support.
