I am a director for the Volleyball, Alumni and Community Relations committees. For the Volleyball committee, the goal is to continue to build the brand of the #NewIU and get more students to the volleyball games. The more students that come, the more hype the student section would be. The Alumni committee is planning to continue to reach out to Alumni and try to engage current Indiana students more this semester. Finally, the Community Relations committee goals is to improve upon the relationship with the local Boys and Girls club, get more students to come to Community Kitchen and make a few field trips to Indiana Athletic facilities for local kids.

I was delegated to work with the Indiana Women's Volleyball team and the Alumni Committee. I designed T-shirts, match themes and brainstormed different promotions for the Volleyball team. Also, I volunteered to help make banners and get to the matches early to set up. The Alumni Committee allowed me the opportunity to network with prior Alumni. We built the yearly scrapbook for the club at the end of the year. Both committees allowed me to gain valuable leadership and communication skills. I'm looking forward to the future of the club and being apart of it.

I had my first internship as a recruiting intern with Indiana Football. I toured over 300 prospective high school recruits around Memorial Stadium over the seven Indiana home games. I had to explain the benefits of Indiana's brand new nutrition center and weight room to recruits. Also, I explained to the parents the expectations of the coaches and assisted the Indiana Compliance Officer in explaining the NCAA requirements needed to play Division One football. This job allowed me to work on my communication skills since I needed to develop a sales pitch to each recruit.

Feed My Starving Children is a non-profit organization that packages food for underprivileged children in third world countries. It was a great place to volunteer because you are impacting and saving children all over the world. Making a difference is people's lives, even though I will never meet them, is important to me. -Campaigned to bring my Business Professional of America club to Feed My Starving Children in order to strengthen relationships with my peers and to act as a team bonding experience, which it turned out to be great for the overall morale of the club. -Spearheaded an effort to raise money for Feed My Starving Children, so the company could package more food for the children, and I raised over five hundred dollars for the organization. -Supervised students as they package the food, which helped me develop my communication and leadership skills, and we made over one hundred boxes of food for the starving children.

As an intern for FitReserve, I have been assigned to be the Seattle Regional Director. I am the main contact person for Fitness Gyms in the Seattle area as FitReserve expands it's business into Seattle at the end of July. I reach out to different Fitness Gyms, Boxing Clubs, Yoga Studios and Dance Studios to explain the benefits that the company can provide them. Also, I scheduled conference calls to answer any questions that the owners might have. Once the company has signed with FitReserve, I help with the integration of software between the companies.
