Skills & Abilities
As a founder and/or president of two major volunteer projects in Grand Blanc and Flint, MI, as well as with my other
leadership positions which include Editor-In-Chief of my high school’s newspaper, founder of other clubs within my high
school, and Greek dance instructor, I have gained the knowledge to not only work with people but to also lead and
encourage other’s in their work. I am not only passionate with everything I put my mind to, but I also take criticism well
and always want to learn more. My work in photography and music journalism/reviews with the popular music and
entertainment website buzznet.com, starting from a young age, also have helped me learn how to work with others in a
community when not in a position of leadership or working under pressure and deadlines.
