Service & Leadership

My third year of undergraduate studies provided me with an opportunity to continue my leadership experience within Housing and Residence Life. Serving as a peer mentor to other resident assistants and an asset to the professional staff in HRL I had the opportunity to grow my leadership styles and ability and challenge myself in several unexpected ways. 

During my second year in my under graduate studies at the University of Southern Indiana I worked as a resident Assistant. I was a resident assistant in a residence hall on a floor that specifically freshman in the health professions field of study. In this role I was able to work with underclass men and help them to navigate their needs away from their families and throughout their transition to college. 

As a freshman I have attend all of the current Food & Nutrition Student Organization. I have also volunteered my time at the Wellness Fair that was held on the 25th of September. I am excited to participate further by volunteering at the food bank and with the Evansville School Corporations "Try It Tuesdays" which allows us to teach elementary students about trying new healthy foods. I helped to create social media posts for the South West Indiana Academy of Dietetics and to create bag to hand out to homeless individuals during the Homelessness Symposium.  I have also participated in creating snacks for an after school program called Patchwork Central. Along with that I helped with a table during  National Nutrition Month.

Through out my life I have spent several hours volunteering  my time. I've spent several summers volunteering in different departments at Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes, In. These departments included food services, the gift shop, and central services within the hospital. I also spend time in the summer volunteering for TRY Knox County which is a triathlon hosted by the park and recreation department and an outside committee. I work with the athletes in the food tent helping to prepare and serve them food.
