What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my leadership skills and analytical abilities in a dynamic environment focused on community engagement and public relations.

I am a dedicated Political Science student at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, with a passion for leadership and community engagement. My experience as an intern and mentor in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences has honed my ability to facilitate discussions and develop lesson plans that support the academic transition of first-year students. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I can leverage my interpersonal skills to foster student success.

As the President of Kappa Alpha Pi, a professional pre-law fraternity, I lead a diverse team and organize impactful events that connect students with law school representatives. My commitment to service is evident through my role as Vice President of Philanthropy, where I managed numerous events that engaged our community and enhanced our chapter's visibility. I am also actively involved in the Panhellenic Council, directing large-scale recruitment events and strategizing plans to enhance member engagement.
