Summary

I'm a Molecular Biology & Real Estate Finance student at the University of Wyoming with a passion for leadership, service, and making a positive impact in my community. Whether I'm organizing philanthropic events, working in environmental conservation, or collaborating with teams to solve problems, I enjoy taking on challenges that help people and create meaningful results.

Through leadership roles with Kappa Alpha Order and as a cofounder of Opportunity Education Global, I've developed experience in project management, fundraising, community engagement, and organizational leadership. These opportunities have strengthened my communication skills, taught me how to lead diverse teams, and reinforced the importance of building relationships while working toward a shared mission.

I'm always looking for opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with others who are passionate about leadership, science, conservation, and community service. I believe that combining technical knowledge with strong interpersonal skills is the best way to create lasting, positive change.
