During my Sophomore year of college, I started volunteering at Campus Kitchen. We packed meals for schools and nursing homes with our leftover dining hall food. I also participated in compost crew. Every week, we would pick up all of these compost bins from the dining halls around campus and transport them to a garden. 

sIn my sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, I serve as the Chief Officer of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. I promote DEI lectures and events at Washington and Lee and provide a safe space for any prospective or current sorority members who have concerns or comments about inclusion in Theta. 

During the height of the pandemic in 2020, my mother and I volunteered with North Texas Food Bank. We packed boxes of food into cars at the drive through food pantry. 

I volunteered as a camp counselor at Camp Freedom and Camp Out On A Limb through Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital. The campers attending were all amputees or were diagnosed with arthrogryposis.

Throughout High school, my mom and I participated in a Mother-Daughter charity league. I won the Yellow Rose award for completed over 75 hours of service in one year with the charity league. It was a great way to get involved with my community while also spending time with my mom.

I have been involved with Austin Street Homeless Shelter since 7th grade. For my Girl Scout Gold Award, I created a communication center at Austin Street to help people new to homelessness navigate this new point in their lives. I consolidated resources, programs, and hotlines into the communication center. This Gold Award is centered around leadership, and entails at least 80 hours of direct leadership. I also led monthly events for the clients at the shelter such as painting, crafts, and meals. Look below to see when I was featured in the Newspaper.
