New Member Educator
As a New Member Educator of my sorority, I was on Executive Board. This position taught me how to control a large amount of people at a young age. In this position I would make lesson plans for our new members to learn what our organization stood for. This included our shared values, morals and beliefs. I was able to become more confident and learn how to lead young woman in a positive way and by doing something I loved.
Relay For Life Chair
This position is on Executive Council. I decided to take this position because I feel that as a younger generation we need to give back. With this position I have learned how to manage my time, make events for donations and sell shirts prior to the event. Holding this position has showed me the important of coming together as a community to celebrate and to remember.
