College access ambassador training

Engineer Career Awareness Program ECAP hosted a two-day interview weekend, where prospective students came and learned about the program, and spent the night with current ECAP students. I helped with setup and takedown and guided and translated for parents at the event on the first day. I spoke about my experience and study abroad in Spanish for parents who were not proficient in English. I also conducted a couple of interviews and asked them some questions. I enjoyed this part very much; it brought a sense of nostalgia and accomplishment. Overall, the experience was great and helped me build further confidence in presenting information to parents in Spanish and being able to show my professionalism to the new incoming students.

Math Counts. This event was organized by Ronnie Flowers, a Regional Member Leader of the Arkansas State Teachers Association. During the event, we helped show the kids to their testing location and instructed them on the seating arrangements. I helped proctor the exam and handed out testing materials (test, scratch paper, and pencils). I transported the test to the graders. Afterward, I directed the setup and distribution of food/snacks to the students and parents. I've had the pleasure of doing this two years now and look forward to next year's event.

Soup Sunday, organized and hosted by Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, and an opportunity provided by Path.

This was the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families annual soup fundraiser, where restaurants from across NWA showcased their soups. I, along with many other volunteers, helped with the restaurant setup in their respective booths and with pre-setup before the restaurant's arrival. Helped with the unloading of soups and restaurant equipment. Overall, a great event and filled with amazing, delicious soups.

As a project leader for the VAC, i organized a team of 30 volunteers. We help with the set up of food vendors and other tasks they needed man power for. overall it was a great experience and i would definitely recommend doing it again.
