I had the opportunity to participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Miami, and it was an incredibly meaningful experience. The event featured various pop-up booths that provided helpful information, along with snacks, drinks, and merchandise. There were also powerful speakers who shared their personal experiences, discussing how Alzheimer’s has affected them and how they’ve supported family members living with the disease. Overall, it was both inspiring and eye-opening to be part of such a supportive and impactful community event.

I donated nine items in partnership with Sigma Kappa as part of an effort to give back to those in need. Being able to contribute items from the donation list allowed me to directly support individuals and families who may be facing difficult circumstances. Giving back to the community is important to me, and this donation was a meaningful way to help make a positive impact, even in a small but tangible way.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at FIU to help their gardens and compost stalls. I had an amazing group to work with me

I had the chance to help fundraise at "Neighbors 4 Neighbors" last Thursday. It was an amazing event, that had high energy with clients and the other volunteers. At this event, I worked the welcome table were I would check people in, provide information about auctions, and sell raffle tickets.

I had the opportunity to volunteer at the LIV golf at Doral Trump Hotel. I volunteer specifically in Birdie Shack which gave me the opportunity to help individuals with scanning tickets, fixing the issues with tickets, adding wristlet, and taking them up to their box/tables. The people I volunteer with made, it such a good time, and would do it again next year.

Volunteering at the Power of the Purse 2025 was one of the best experiences I had this year. Having worked ballroom, it help me see how dedicated these women are to host an events to showcase the strength of different women coming together to make progress. Working this event allowed me to improve on my public speaking skills, organization ,and time management skills.
