  I served as a liaison between student volunteers, members of the community, and full-time staff. I organize groups of about 6-8 volunteers and prepare them for their meetings and debrief afterward. Any concerns or questions were then taken to Member-Advocate Coordination Meetings, which were used to synthesize information about how the office was run and set a tone and standard for office culture.

  As a volunteer, I work with members of the community on issues they are facing that they request assistance with. The topics of these meetings can range from applying for a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher to searching for jobs in the area. I work alongside one other person in each of these meetings, and I volunteer here twice a week. I employed the tenants of trauma-informed care and person-centered approaches while coaching members.

  As Co-Director of Outreach, I assisted in the facilitation of community engagement on behalf of the Student Executive Board. One way I did this was by planning a screening of the film "Silence Sam," a documentary created by former Carolina students concerning the attempts to bring down the Confederate Statue at our university. In conjunction, I coordinated a panel discussion of current Black activists at Carolina to discuss the future of anti-racist activism.

• Creating University-Born Entrepreneurs (CUBE) Intern

  • May 2019 - Aug 2020

  As an intern, I worked on all outward-facing aspects of CUBE. One of my main projects was the development of a 10-module course about social entrepreneurship to coach our new student ventures.
