Volunteering & Community Development

About

My volunteering and community development journey reflects a commitment to health, service, and growth. From serving on a medical mission in Peru to mentoring local students and organizing service events through NEST Run Club, I've sought to combine meaningful service with long-term impact.

Medical & Health Service

UGA MedLife Peru Mission Trip (2025)

Assisted in building community greenhouses, planting crops, and participating in local celebrations. Shadowed dentists, doctors, and nurses while taking vitals, supporting patient care, and educating the community on wellness.

St. Mary's Hospital Volunteering (2025–present)

Supporting patient care through central supply and hospital service.

Caretaking (2025–present)

Providing direct patient care for a physically disabled individual, including assistance with mobility, personal hygiene, meal preparation, and daily health needs. This experience has strengthened my compassion, attention to detail, and dedication to supporting quality of life through hands-on care.

Local Community Engagement

NEST Run Club (2024–present)

Co-founded and lead service events, including Athens Marathon volunteering and ongoing community wellness activities. NEST has monthly community service events to contribute to local initiatives that support education, nutrition, and community development.

Dawg Day of Service & The Table Backpack Project (2023–2025)

I volunteer locally at UGA and oncampus ministry events to serve food and provide books for children and homeless in need in the Athens community.

Mentorship & Leadership

Clarke County Mentorship Program (2025–present)

Mentor to a local high school student, providing guidance and support in academics and personal growth.

Leadership Through NEST Run Club
