I was elected by my teachers and peers to be a Student Ambassador during my time at Everest College. My compassion and caring nature allowed me to take the new students under my wing and direct them in the direction of success through gentle guidance and nurturing

• Assisted in the organization of community outreach events where we continually fed the poor, distributed food to the needy, and brought medical/dental services to those who needed it

This was basically a 4 month boot camp for ministry training with a focus on community outreach and helping those who were in the most need. We provided drug treatment and domestic abuse counseling, among other services.

I provided companionship and spiritual support to hospice patients by reading, talking, listening, counseling, and prayer.
