• International Volunteer HQ (IVHQ)

During my recent volunteer trip to Kenya, I had the incredible opportunity to teach at an underprivileged school, where I contributed to the education and empowerment of young minds. This experience not only deepened my understanding of global educational challenges but also reinforced my commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. 

In the classroom, I developed engaging lesson plans, facilitated interactive learning experiences, and fostered a supportive environment that encouraged curiosity and creativity. Collaborating with local teachers and community leaders, I learned invaluable lessons about resilience, adaptability, and the power of education.

• Corn Tri-Chair

As a tri-chair for Meredith's College Corn Week (homecoming week), I played a pivotal role in planning and executing a memorable week filled with school spirit and community engagement Collaborating with a dedicated team, I helped coordinate a variety of activities, from a community service project, a parades and being an emcee for our corn production. My responsibilities included organizing logistics, managing budgets, and communicating with students, faculty, and local vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly. I also spearheaded marketing efforts to promote our events, utilizing social media and school announcements to generate excitement and encourage participation
