- Created safe, fun environment for children and teens attending special programs at MY Club's facilities.
- I created the program MY Closet Box - Recognizing the transformative power of self-expression, I created this program to inspire young individuals in my small-town community (Oakhurst) to embrace their unique identities through fashion. The program invites students to complete a form detailing their interests and preferences. Based on these responses, volunteers + myself curate personalized boxes of clothing designed to help each student feel confident and empowered in their new outfits — free of financial concerns. MY Closet Box is dedicated to fostering self-confidence and individuality, proving that fashion can be a powerful tool for self-expression, regardless of budgetary constraints!
- Social Media Manager (MY Club)
- Developed strong partnerships with community organizations and local schools, expanding resources available for program participants.
- Organized special events and field trips, contributing to memorable experiences for participants.
- Promoted a safe and inclusive environment, fostering positive relationships among participants.
