Worked the Triple Jump for the Arkansas Track Meet. Volunteered through Phi Mu Alpha Beta.

I am on exec for the RSO American Society of Interior Designers and I helped organize, set up, and break down an event to connect ASID members with professionals in NWA. This consisted of setting up tables, picking up food and drinks, running the event, and cleaning up after the event. This was a great opportunity to serve my chapter.

Over spring break I traveled to the Dominican Republic, partnering with Cru and Filter of Hope, to install water filters into homes where they do not have access to filtered water. These filters last 10 years! During this experience we also shared the gospel and showed them a demonstration about how the water filter purifies the water, similar to how a relationship with Jesus filters us. Walking away from this experience, I learned how to communicate and show others love, even if they speak a different language.

I went on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic over spring break! I installed water filters into homes. It was such a cool experience getting to serve others.

Wrote 2 letters to the Chancellor about sustainability!!!

I volunteered at the Springdale Thrift Store for 2 hours. I tagged and hung up articles of clothing.

I attended the Find Your Impact session two. I learned about the difference impacts I can be involved in. I look forward to making a difference in my community.

Leverett Elementary homecoming community service project! We volunteered at their cultural night. We set out food, helped clean up, and entertained the kids.

Made goodie bags and brought them to Arkansas Children’s ! They had Halloween goodies, color books, and silly straws. I did this with KROP.
