With a background in public relations and experience as Co-President of the Smile4Kids Foundation at Michigan State University, I led over 200 student volunteers and coordinated events with local Lansing nonprofits to support pediatric patients and children in foster care.

Through tutoring, organizing community fairs, and fundraising efforts, I developed a deep understanding of managing a volunteer-based nonprofit organization. This experience inspired me to launch a similar initiative in my hometown—one focused on giving back to the community that shaped me.
