Community Involvement

I was involved for four years with the Blue Bonnet Drama Club as a Treasury and Vice President. This gave me solid foundation in communication, community service, and financial management skills. It was a great experience interfacing with the community and different businesses while performing community service projects. I was also active in FFA and 4-H Clubs where I raised/showed market goats for four years. It taught me how to be responsible and dependable, along with consistency and patients. I was also involved in the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. It was an amazing experience learning different skill sets for future endeavors and it taught me time management with school and other curricular activities.
