Volunteer Service
- FreSH TX
FreSH TX is a FLO (Freshman Leadership Organization) that I was a part of during my time at Texas A&M Galveston. As a part of this organization I would volunteer for events both on and off of campus in order to help out various groups and gain leadership experience. Some of these events would include serving food at the Lunar New Year Festival and helping fill up Easter eggs for a church during Big Event.
- Boy Scouts
As a member of the Boy Scouts of America from 8th to 10th grade, I often volunteered by catering to the elderly. I did so by visiting them in their nursing homes to spend time with them, or sing to them during the holidays. On other occasions my troop would clean up trash at churches or in parks.

From 10th to 12th grade I was part of the CCISD First Robotics team Chips 324.

It also allowed me to grow my knowledge of machinery and what it takes to be part of a competitive, professional team.
