I am a first-year student attending Berry College in Rome, GA, and a driven Bonner scholar, a national scholarship of which I was 1-of-20 first-years to receive it. As a Bonner scholar, I have coordinated and collaborated with several non-profit/government agencies within the Rome-Floyd community, such as the Boys & Girls Club, YMCA, AdventHealth, and many more throughout the community. All in all, I am adept at building genuine connections, fostering collaboration, and persuading teams toward common goals in hopes of bringing a deeper understanding, while actively promoting a positive and inclusive environment.
