Throughout my career as a student I have always found that it is important to give back to my community in any way that I can. While pursuing my education I have spent time volunteering at Reins of Life, where I fed and took care of horses while also attending community events centered around helping children and adults with physical and social disabilities. I have volunteered in many clubs within my degree college, I worked closely with peers to set up events for hearing and socially impaired children and adults through our ASL Club, where we would set up sensory Santa and other sensory events while working with the hearing-impaired community through sign language. I also volunteered to be a part of Deaf Deaf World, which is an event for the deaf community to showcase their amazing abilities and to help educate those who have little knowledge on the community and its support system. I have volunteered for and attended my universities AAC Camp in which I worked on a committee to bring focus to those who use AAC devices to communicate. I focused on bringing inclusivity to the program and within the campers who have attended the camp for many years.
