ANNUAL AWARDS CEREMONY
One of my favorite projects with the Columbia Montour Chamber of Commerce has been revamping the Chamber's Award Ceremony Nomination and Judging Processes.
In previous years, The Chamber has struggled with judge bias, and limited nominations. In their old model, the nomination form had all 5 awards, requesting general information which was reviewed by a panel of judges at face value.
I have written a complex marketing plan and designed judging rubrics that consist of relevant criteria for each award category. The criteria was then matched with corresponding questions to build a nomination form for each category.
Finally, I designed a webpage for the event, making nominations easier then ever. Click here to view my work
Due to my revisions, the Chamber has seen a significant increase in quality nominations.
I'm looking forward to this event's success in 2027 with a nomination and voting process that the Chamber can be proud of.

Berwick Board Member
Serving as a board member has been a true blessing. Over the last year, I was gifted the opportunity to attend numerous events, growing my professional network tremendously.
In 2025 the Community Giving Foundation took on the hefty process of constructing their next strategic plan. I attended multiple sessions and had very in-depth discussions with community leaders.
This was my first time participating in strategic planning sessions for an organization, and I have found that I am very passionate about this work. The organization came together for 5 day-time sessions throughout 2025, where everyone discussed community needs, and plans for securing the Foundation's long-term success.
In May 2026, I showcased my knowledge of nonprofit operations while speaking on a panel at the annual ELEVATE2 Conference at Bucknell University. I shared my experiences in community involvement, volunteerism, and leadership. It was rewarding to connect with nonprofit professionals and community leaders who share a passion for making a difference. This experience allowed me to reflect on my own leadership journey, offer a younger perspective on community engagement, and learn from others who are dedicated to strengthening the nonprofit sector. The auditorium of 200+ community leaders and stakeholders helped me develop crucial public speaking skills.

SeAL Challenge
I had the opportunity to coordinate the 2025-26 Sea Air and Land Challenge for local school districts.
The Sea Air and Land Challenge is a STEM initiative in which teams of high school or middle school aged students learn about the engineering process through the design and build of a robotic system. The systems are then used to compete in challenges relevant to the Department of War which mimic missions encountered by the military, national security agencies and first responders.
So far, I have practiced key professional skills such as recruiting school districts to participate, scheduling multiple in person information presentations, and coordinating with vendors/caterers/keynote speakers. My favorite part has been awarding each school district with our EITC funded checks so that the students can participate for free!

Social Media Manager
As a social media coordinator, I got to design communication for the team to promote gamed attendance. Here are a few examples of my designs.
These designs were published on Instagram & Facebook.
Mini-Mic Interviews
I produced, filmed, and edited all short form video content.
Short-form video content on social media is a valuable tool for Bloomsburg University Women’s Basketball (BUWBB) because it increases engagement, strengthens team identity, and builds connections with fans, students, and the surrounding community.
