Summary

I am a first-year student at Spelman College, Class of 2029, with a strong background in leadership, community service, and cultural engagement. In high school, I was active in Student Council, National Honor Society, and Black Student Union, while also competing as a varsity track athlete. I organized clothing drives, and coordinated social media for school spirit events, experiences that built my skills in teamwork, event planning, and communication. I am passionate about creating inclusive communities and supporting others through service and leadership.”
