The interns at AbbVie's Innovation Lab visited the Don Moyer Boys & Girls Club.

​We read books with the kids and they were able to take them home!

Graduate student society (GradSS)
2017 - 2020

All majors, all disciplines, no restrictions.

I founded GradSS in January 2018 as a response to a need in the graduate community. Graduate school can be an extremely isolating experience and there were no active social student organizations that welcomed graduate students from all majors and backgrounds.

The vision for GradSS is to create and sustain a long-lasting network of graduate students across departments and to promote interdisciplinary collaborations. Our events are a place where both informal and formal exchanges can happen among peers.

Graduate Student Conference: ‘Education in Uncertain Times’
March 9, 2018

I led the 9th annual graduate student conference at the College of Education alongside 6 amazing colleagues (see image on left).

We received over submissions from all over the United States, as well as those in the U.K., Saudi Arabia, and India. Roughly one-third of the conference presenters came from off-campus locales, and eight lecturers joined the peer-reviewed event through online conferencing.

This was one of the most logistically challenging events I've worked on. I'm very proud of how our team planned and executed the event.

 American Cancer Society
​2016 - 2021

My volunteer work with ACS mostly revolves around fundraising, the biggest being Harry Potter-themed events in the fall. We raised a total of $2,056 in 2017 from our second trivia event and $6,809 in 2018 from our first murder mystery dinner party.

​Every year I worked with 4 of the most talented, creative, and kind people from the community: Jill Rannebarger, Marijane Cronk, Chris McConkey, and Michael Giger. The team gives the venue a complete makeover, transforming from Elk's Lodge to Hogwarts overnight, and the majority of items sold at the event are entirely handmade.

Chocolate frog or a Demeter’s Kiss, anyone?

Second time hosting the HP event - the first one was a hit!

Tea time with princesses, princes, kings, and queens. I was a server.
