LEADERSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES
Lambda Chi Alpha- Social Director: Coordinated and developed social events for the chapter. Met with businesses, organizations, and professionals to ensure the goal of the event was achieved seamlessly. For philanthropic events, created programs and presentations that promoted and addressed the message of the organization.
Lambda Chi Alpha- Risk Management Officer: Developed and directed sessions that educated the membership on their fraternal roles and responsibilities and interfaced with executive officers to ensure our chapter sustained itself without incident. I was the liaison between the chapter and the University.
Leadership Law Program: Nominated and chosen by teaching staff to attend an elite national program for students who were considered the future attorneys of America. This program, hosted in Washington DC, honored the students who were considered “the best of the best” by the school staff. I participated in various courtroom leadership activities and mock trials that effectively simulated real world experiences in law.
Lacrosse Coach: I volunteered to coach a youth lacrosse team. The highest priority was that of managing and developing the team to ensure an understanding of the game as well as the meaning of teamwork. As a role model, I conducted myself with honesty, integrity, and good moral character which in turn gained my players trust and respect.
