Involvement and Hobbies
Who am I
Throughout my academic journey, I have been actively involved in multiple organizations, leadership roles, and community service initiatives, which have shaped my personal and professional growth. From participating in the basketball club, where I competed in tournaments and took on leadership roles, to organizing food drives to give back to my community, I have developed strong teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. Additionally, I dedicate my time to volunteering at my church and being an active member of a women’s group, where I help with community outreach, service projects, and spiritual growth. These diverse experiences have allowed me to grow as a leader, make meaningful contributions, and positively impact those around me.
Beyond academics and community involvement, I also enjoy gardening, painting, and spoiling my pups, which allows me to express myself, relax and de-stress, and develop patience and attention to detail. Whether it’s growing plants, creating projects, or taking hikes with my babies, I enjoy hands-on experiences that encourage creativity and mindfulness. These hobbies, along with my volunteer work, provide a sense of fulfillment and connection, reinforcing my passion for helping others and continuously learning.
Basketball Club
at UCF
Being part of the UCF Basketball Club has been an incredible experience, allowing me to compete, travel, and grow as both a player and leader. I've had the opportunity to participate in tournaments across different locations, and I’m proud to have been recognized as an All-Tournament Player at nearly every event. Beyond the court, I’ve taken on leadership roles as both the President, Risk Manager, and Social Media Manager, ensuring the safety of our team while also promoting our club and its achievements. This experience has not only deepened my passion for basketball but has also strengthened my teamwork, leadership, and communication skills, making it one of the most rewarding aspects of my time at UCF.
Food Drives
Community Service
Giving back to my community through food drives has been a meaningful way to support those in need. By organizing and participating in these events, I have helped collect, sort, and distribute food to families facing food insecurity. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, teamwork, and compassion, while also reinforcing the importance of community involvement and service. I am committed to making a positive impact and will continue to seek opportunities to give back and support those in need.
Church Volunteer
Faith Assembly
Being part of the Women's Group at Faith Assembly has been an incredibly rewarding experience, allowing me to connect with and support other women in faith and personal growth. Through this group, I have participated in community outreach, service projects, and spiritual development activities, strengthening my commitment to both my faith and giving back to others. In addition to being an active member, I also volunteer at Faith Assembly, assisting with events, church services, and various ministry efforts. This involvement has deepened my sense of community, leadership, and compassion, reinforcing my dedication to serving others. I would love for you to be apart of my church too!
Gardening
My plant babies
Indoor gardening has become one of my favorite hobbies, allowing me to care for and nurture plants while creating a peaceful and refreshing environment. I currently grow a Chinese Money Plant, a Money Tree, several cacti, and a Mother of Thousands plant, each adding a unique touch to my indoor space. Tending to my plants has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of proper care and attention to detail. I love watching them thrive and plan to expand my collection with even more greenery in the future. This hobby not only brings me joy but also serves as a great way to de-stress and connect with nature indoors. Shop with my favorite local gardener!
My Puppies!
I live with two adorable puppies, Coco and her baby, $ugar! $ugar was a birthday gift from my best friend, making her even more precious to me! Living with both of them has added so much joy and surprise to my life—they love being spoiled with treats, belly rubs, snuggles, and going on walks. One of their favorite things to do is watch the duckies through our back door. Their playful and loving personalities bring so much happiness to my life, and I love every moment with them!
