Fundraising Experience

In 2022, as part of my high school's scholarship and service pageant Miss Brookville, I created a talent show to raise money for Miriam's House, my town's local homeless shelter. In encouraging students to display their talents that ranged from singing to poetry, we created a night of inclusiveness and thanks raising over $1,000.
