I have served in a plethora of leadership roles both within and outside my organization. Outside of the organization within the Boy Scouts of America Troop 103 I served as Patrol Leader (x2), Senior Patrol Leader, and Eagle Scout Mentor. Within my organization of Sigma Phi Epsilon (SigEp), I first served as the Music Chair from Fall 2022 - Spring 2023. I then served as the chapter's Vice President of Programming from Fall 2023 - Spring 2024. Currently, I serve as the Chapter President responsible for the management of the entirety of the Chapter and the head of the Executive Board. I also serve as the Liaison between the chapter, the school, and the national headquarters. I am involved in the Alpha Chi Academic Honor Society and the Biology Club with the ambition of joining the Beta Beta Beta Biology Honor Society this semester. I am a Four Year Active Duty Army Scholarship recipient enrolled in ROTC and active within the President's Leadership Program (PLP). Therefore, I possess the necessary skills and experiences of leadership, interpersonal communication, team management, and organization, while adhering to and upholding the four pillars associated with this organization, making myself an eligible candidate for admission into the prestigious Order of Omega here at Christopher Newport University.
