ACTIVITIES

From a very young age, I have had a passion for film, not only just as a casual viewing, but looking at them deeper and what the director wants us to see. I also enjoy giving back to the community, having been a secretary in the Purdue University Green Action Club which worked with the native environment of Fort Wayne. I personally feel, that through the entertainment of film, I can inspire and give back to the community, that so many dream of, and few achieve. I also previously volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, helping people that have recently dealt with a catastrophe by building houses and assisting those in the retail store find house essentials. For a brief time, I also volunteered at The Cedars retirement home, helping residents get to their rooms and playing various games with them, while learning and listening about their lives.
