  • Kerr PALS (October 2022 - April 2023) - In this group, me along with some other thunders go to chosen elementary schools in which we tutor the elementary kids, with usually core classes such as math, reading, writing, etc. Recently, I’ve been helping a group of students who have recently immigrated here, helping with majority English and comprehension.
  • Science National Honor Society (September 2022 - Present) - This group exists to promote participation in and increase students' knowledge of both traditional and contemporary science, to interact with scientists, and to help the general public understand science. As of now, the club has been active in its activities featuring weekly experiments and recently we’ve been making an influx of funds towards our club. And as working vice-president, I strive to be able to improve the club and up,oft the wonder and curiosity that is science to make it both exciting and educational.
  • No Tiger Left Behind (August 2022 - May 2023) - Not Tigers Left Behind is a Kerr exclusive club, that focuses on helping the newer students to our school, talking to them, showing them the ropes, and being there as a mentor and friend. Being in NTLB, has helped me talk to those newer and in turn listen to those around me, sharing my won advice and tips as well as receiving it. I believe it's important to help those when we can and to offer things that would otherwise help performance.
  • Students for Humanity (November 2021 to May 2023) - In this group, I do a lot of volunteering work, some stuff include: garden work, working at a soup kitchens, as well as food banks. Having been volunteering, I know my way around the working hours and can manage hard and long hours of work.
