Nonprofit Involvement
The Institute for Youth in Policy
Vice President of Marketing
The Institute for Youth in Policy is a student-led, nonpartisan organization dedicated to innovative policy education and the advancement of civic engagement and community development. As Vice President of Marketing, I lead a cross-functional team of volunteers across design, growth, and social media, overseeing an integrated, multi-departmental media strategy to expand the organization’s reach and impact. I direct the organization’s user-generated content strategy and launched its alumni newsletter, contributing to a 50% increase in LinkedIn profile views. Currently, YIP’s marketing department is expanding its TikTok presence with an emphasis on authentic, peer-to-peer storytelling.
The Beatrice Martin Foundation
Director of Media & Communications
As Director of Media and Communications for the Beatrice Martin Foundation, a student-run nonprofit affiliated with the American Library Association, I lead media efforts to promote literacy for underrepresented youth. I manage branding, press, partnerships, and advocacy campaigns, while directing a volunteer team that produces daily content across social platforms. Our “Caution Tape” Banned Books Week initiative mobilized over 1,400 students with Golden State Readers! I also serve as a college essay editor, with all proceeds supporting youth literacy. With skills in Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, and digital strategy, I aim to deliver clear, impactful messaging that furthers our mission.
Vern Tutoring Classroom
At Vern Tutoring, a student-run nonprofit providing free education to lower-income students, I’ve designed and taught original courses in creativity and entrepreneurship. I led a semester-long Creative Writing class for students in grades 4–7, and a four-day Entrepreneurship Camp for 29 students in grades 4–10. My business curriculum covered brand strategy, marketing, and analytics, and culminated in a pitch-deck style startup symposium. I developed all teaching materials from scratch, providing ongoing support to students throughout the week.
Student Educator & Tutor
Faith Hope and Joy Foundation
At the Faith Hope and Joy Foundation, a community outreach organization serving under-advantaged communities, I built and managed the foundation’s website to help expand our reach and improve communication with partner organizations. My work focused on combining digital tools with hands-on service to support families in need.

VBC Houston
Children’s Worship & Youth Ministry Leader
For over four years, I’ve led weekly worship for a group of up to 60 children in Pre-K through 7th grade, helping them build confidence, compassion, and a sense of community through music and shared reflection. I also guide groups of 30-60 youth at conferences and special events, using piano, vocals, and public speaking to foster connection and belonging. This experience has deepened my understanding of group dynamics, communication across age groups, and the role of empathy in leadership.
