Summary
As a dedicated student leader, I have served as the Vice President and Secretary of the Student Government Association (SGA), where I played a key role in organizing initiatives, facilitating meetings, and enhancing student engagement on campus. As a Scholars Mentor, I provided guidance and support to fellow students, fostering academic success and personal growth. Additionally, as a Leadership Team member, I contributed to planning and executing leadership programs, workshops, and campus events. My passion for cultural engagement led me to become the President of the Sharkseros Salsa Club, where I coordinated events, promoted community involvement, and shared my love for dance. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, communication, and organizational skills, preparing me for future professional endeavors.
