and Community Liason

 

I am a social work and education student at the University of Texas, specializing in poverty, youth, and nonprofit management studies. I am currently an intern at a nonprofit providing free afterschool care for a low-income community in Austin, Texas. As well as have volunteered this past summer with Mekedonia, a home for the mentally ill and senior citizens in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Having the opportunity to be a part of the PUC team allows me to pursue my passions of traveling (I plan to visit every continent and God-willingly every country) to not only see tourist attractions but to make a positive and lasting impact on a community that is culturally fitting.

In my spare time, I enjoy being on my dance team, painting, and mentoring 10 freshman students at the university.
