Beyond academics, I’m actively involved in leadership on campus, currently serving as Vice President and previously as Bursar of my sorority. These roles have strengthened my ability to manage responsibilities, collaborate with diverse teams, and make thoughtful decisions. I’m motivated to continue developing professionally through hands-on internship experience.
