Community Volunteerism
Baton Rouge Youth Coalition
BRYC is a non-profit organization designed to foster the potential of high-achieving students at low-achieving schools in East Baton Rouge Parish. My belief in equal education for all has propelled me to volunteer as an English tutor in order to help students improve their writing skills, reading comprehension, and ACT preparedness.

Habitat for Humanity
I believe that socioeconomic limitations should not deny anyone the right to something as basic as shelter. As a member of several service organizations and the LSU Greek community, I participated in several of Habitat for Humanity's site builds around the Baton Rouge area and have helped deserving families build a home of their own.

Highland Elementary
I have participated in several of Highland Elementary's art projects by assisting the children in making Valentine's Day cards for hospitalized children, artwork for the elderly, and thank you cards to American soldiers stationed overseas. Although the materials used for these projects are in short supply, the students still benefit from an exceptional education and are taught the importance of giving back to their community.

Though often neglected in public schools, the performing arts provide unique educational opportunities for students and allow them to express their creativity in a secure environment. Since 2007, I have been a volunteer performer and teacher at SoLa, a non-proft organization in my hometown of Houma, LA dedicated to providing the community with education in the performing arts.
