Push-ups For Public Schools

Raised over $1,000 for local public schools, in order to ease the financial burden that teachers face when buying school supplies. I promised to do and record 5 push-ups for every $1 donated. The campaign and mission were shared through various media platforms and the money was donated through a GoFundMe page. I was able to share my initiative through the Radford University website and social media accounts, a local radio station (107.1 WPSK), and WDBJ7 news.


Women in Sports Documentary

Interviewed, filmed, and edited the stories of incredible female athletes at Radford University- striving to break gender stereotypes (in their sport and field), championing social change, and leading the next generation.
