Interned with PCE Investment Bankers for a cumulative 10 months between Winter of 2018 and Summer of 2020.

Elected Senator for the Undergraduate Studies student population. Member of the Budget Committee, in charge of allocating over $14 Million dollars in funding to hundreds of school organizations.

In addition to serving as a day to day intern for the Winter Park Chambers projects and programs, the majority of this internship consisted of helping to plan, develop, and facilitate the Winter Park Youth Leaders program. This program is designed to develop leadership skills for high school students, as well as to expose them to different elements of community involvement and leadership opportunities. The program includes days centered around team building, arts and culture in Winter Park, media and communications, law and government and career exploration/mentoring. This position further involved the communication of specific details and the collection of documents from over a hundred parents and students throughout the program. This role further includes helping to communicate goals and planning with the organizations and guest speakers involved with the program.

I was elected Student Body Vice President of Winter Park High School my senior year. This position also included the President of ICC (Inter Club Council) where I was responsible for the involvement of over 50 clubs in our annual Relay 4 Life walk for cancer. Other charitable events throughout the year included Dance Marathon, the Lucas Anderson Memorial powderpuff game, and an annual food drive that raised over 15,000 pounds of food for the community. Our Student Government won the award for being the best in the state at the FASC convention.

I served as a Camp Counselor Leader In Training (LIT), for the summers of 2015 and 2016. During my time at the Vineyard, I served as a Belay instructor on the high ropes and Rock climbing facilities for campers ranging between the ages of 6 and 17. I also served as a cabin counselor for 6-8 male campers during this time.

I am very proud to have participated in the Winter Park Youth Leadership program, which is run through the Winter Park Chamber Of Commerce. Youth Leaders is a premier leadership program for students entering their sophomore, junior or senior year in high school. Session topics included: team building, arts and culture in Winter Park, media and communications, law and government and a day for internships and mentoring. In addition to graduating, I also served as a facilitator for the program where I helped to plan and facilitate the students activities throughout the week.
