Opportunities
I, personally, believe that the roles that one takes on is the way to gaining more opportunities and experience. Growing up, involvement in my communities that surrounded me was what kept me driven and motivated, and to continue being involved and creating more openings to gain more skill enhancement and wisdom. Here are some of those roles and times of involvement I’ve indulged in thus far:

Merchandising Committee Chairman- Alpha Phi
DECEMBER 2022- DECEMBER 2023
Through holding a position on our Merchandising committee, I was able to collaborate with other creative minds within our chapter to curate different lines of merchandise for the girls to sport our letters in. We made anything from the annual winter sweat sets, date party pocket tees, and homecoming quarter zips.
One of our best pieces, according to the chapter, that a friend of mine and I actually came up with from that year was for our philanthropy’s “Late Night Dinner”. We showcased these baby tees with “Protect your Heart” and the trending bow on the front, tying beautifully in to Alpha Phi’s philanthropic endeavors to create awareness and benefit women’s heart health.
