Bonus Projects and Opportunities

Studying Abroad

In the summer of 2024 I had the incredible experience of studying abroad in Rome, Italy. I was able to participate in the Creativity and Culture course though the Journalism School at KU. For six weeks, a group of 15 classmates and I immersed ourselves in Italian culture and conducted a compressed version of ethnographic research to learn about Roman culture, food, art, history, and more. We talked regularly with locals, ate lots of authentic food, toured many museum and galleries, and even tackled public transport! Overall the course was an eye opening and remarkable experience.

Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority

I am a member of the Kappa Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta. Since going through recruitment and becoming a member in August of 2022, I have had some incredible opportunities presented to be through being a Theta. The motto of our chapter is “Leading Women,” and this is what I strive for in my personal, social, and academic life.

In 2024 I held the position of Facility Management Director. In this role I oversaw all facility issues including: Summer bathroom renovations, move-in and move-out, room assignment, meals, etc. I communicated daily with our House Mom, Chef, IT services and more to ensure the 110 members living in the house were informed and satisfied. This position taught me invaluable lessons in problem-solving, group management, and time management.

In 2025, I will be the Vice President of External Affairs. In this role, I’ll manage our chapter's fundraising, merchandise, and marketing efforts while collaborating closely with our amazing team of directors in each area. I am very excited to work with the other executive team member to grow and continue to strengthen this chapter!

Teachers Assistant

Currently during the fall semester of my junior year I am working as a teaching assistant for JMC 260, a journalism course titled, The Agency. This course encouraged me to want to go into the advertising field as a freshman and I have loved getting to be involved as a teachers assistant.

Internship

Alongside two other students, since fall of 2023 I have been working alongside the Journalism School professors and The Heart Foundation to create a campaign about the HPV vaccine. The campaign included research, strategy, media buy, and events promoting our work.

Website Design

in 2023 I was employed to design a website for Dr. Michael Triplett, Superintendent of Olathe Public schools. Using Wordpress, I created a site for him including his awards and recognitions, his published books, and much more.
