    CU Leadership Program             April 2025 - April 2026

    I am a proud graduate of the 2025-26 William & Elizabeth Bent Bootcamp for Aspiring Leaders.

    This 12 month program pairs students with Commonwealth University Alumni. The directive is to develop leadership skills for the workplace.

    BUWBB Social Media Manager   Aug 2024 - May 2026

    One of my favorite ways to have gotten involved on campus was managing the Bloomsburg Women's Basketball Team Social Media. This position allowed for me to express my passion for sports alongside developing my communications skills. 

    ​

    My job is to highlight all things BUWBB. This includes gameday coverage, incoming recruits, team news, score repots, fundraising marketing, and short attention catching videos.  

    ​

    I have really enjoyed expanding on traditional content, and adding short form video content. The girls participated in weekly Q&A videos, with the idea of boosting community involvement and brand favorability.

    I've continued to give back to the program that has done so much for me by taking on the role of Vice President for the Youth Action Board Alumni Association. 

    ​

    In this volunteer position, I participated in monthly meetings to discuss crucial plans and ensure future organization stability as well as raising funds.

     

    In 2025 our board executed 2 major fundraisers, leading to the opening of our very own endowed fund, executing our strategic plan, and securing our long term success in serving Columbia County teens.

    Founder of The Benton Youth Action Board    2022-24

    In 2022, I fulfilled my desire for improving my community by partnering with a 501(c)(3) For The Cause. Together, we collaborated to build a youth-led volunteer group of nearly 20 high school students.

    ​

    This initiative implemented lifelong commitment to philanthropy and trained students to take on the roles and responsibilities of a board of directors. Following Robert's Rules of Order, Benton YAB makes their own agendas, and decisions while supporting the community and learning real-life skills that further develop their personal careers. In 2024, the board, with the help of community partners, raised $19,000 to support local pediatric cancer.
