VS PINK CAMPUS REP
I have learned so much during my time as a Victoria's Secret Campus Representative. I applied to this program and was selected out of thousands of applicants to represent the brand on the campus of Louisiana State University. The program was created for young adults in college to gain real-world work experience while being able to empower other students on campus. As a campus representative, I am responsible for leading a campus team, which is composed of 5 other students, as well as executing on-campus projects that are geared towards promoting current initiatives & sales promotions. I love representing this brand because their initiatives greatly align with my own personal values: mental health, diversity & inclusion, women empowerment, and philanthropy. One of my favorite campaigns that I have helped to promote through this program was the “I am Enough” campaign. Through the “I am Enough” campaign I was able to remind students on campus how special and unique they are! I’ve been able to get great insight on mental health strategies to share with the LSU Community from organizations that the brand has partnered with like The Jed Foundation and BEAM. In addition, the program has helped me to complete service projects across the campus. We recently held a supply drive for those affected by Hurricane Ida and assembled lunches for those in need with NAMI Louisiana. The campus rep program has been such an amazing part of my story because it has helped me to find my passions outside of the classroom and has allowed me to be able to interact with many different people across this campus. Through this program, I have learned how to effectively be a leader, and experienced self and professional growth.

ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA SORORITY, INC.
I was initiated into the Eta Kappa Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. at Louisiana State Univeristy in Spring of 2019. Being apart of this sorority has been such a great experience because it has helped me to grow as a person and as a leader. The purpose of Alpha Kappa Alpha is to cultivate and encourage high scholastic and ethical standards, to promote unity and friendship among college women, to study and help alleviate problems concerning girls and women in order to improve their social stature, to maintain a progressive interest in college life, and to be of “Service to All Mankind.” My personal ideals highly align with those of my sorority. During my time in the chapter I have served on the Executive board and held the roles of Ivy Leaf Reporter, Target 1 Chair, and Sisterly Realations Co-Chair. With the help of my sorority I have been able to complete over 100 hours of service. My involvement in greek life has allowed me to interact with many different people across councils and I have the great pleasure of being a group leader during the EMPOWER retread held by the Greek Leadership Institute at LSU.
FRESHMAN LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
Freshmen Leadership Council (FLC) provides incoming freshmen with opportunities to learn more about the inner workings of LSU Student Government. FLC members are paired with Small Group Leaders, who help members take part in the processes of Student Government, while making the most of their first-year experience. Through FLC, members develop and practice their understanding of leadership and community service. To conclude my time in FLC, each small group presented a suggestion to the president of Louisiana State University to enhance the overall student experience at LSU. My group and I created "Paw Paths." These lighted paths would help illuminate the high traffic areas to ensure the safety of students who are on campus late at night.
