In Spring of 2023, I was given a lead position. As the Training Lead I did the following:

Journalism

After taking a journalism course, I wrote for the University of Mary Washington’s student-run paper, the Weekly Ringer. I’m also currently working as a freelance writer for Lake Anna Connections.

UMW Fencing Club

During my freshman year of college, I joined the UMW Fencing Club before becoming its social media coordinator and later president. As president, I coordinated practice times, taught new fencers, served as a liaison between the club and the head of campus recreation, and organized social events. I also managed to double our attendance.
