Through my internship in the Blanton's education department, I have developed a novel public tour curriculum for a temporary exhibition, Long Live Surrealism!, with the aims of introducing elements of play and fun into the Blanton's public tours and meeting specific marketing department goals. I have also led unique, interactive gallery lessons for K-12.

I mentored groups of 10-15 incoming Plan II honors freshmen through their first semester, facilitating discussions around mental health, intersectionality, attention, and adjustment to the college environment through weekly meetings. I built strong skills in peer-to-peer leadership, facilitation, and navigating disagreement and difference.

I led a 9-person committee to meet the gear, vehicle, training, nutrition, and support needs of our 78-person team during training and during the summer ride. I coordinated vehicle maintenance and logistics, oversaw mechanic training, and was a strong leader in ensuring the safety and logistical success of my team making it all the way to Anchorage, Alaska.

I participated in the world's longest annual charity bike ride from Austin, TX to Anchorage, AK, raising over $10,000 individually for cancer research and support services. This experience was the most meaningful journey of my life, both physically and mentally challenging, and expanded my worldview as I met people all across the country that had been.

I coordinated 50 volunteers, 3 sponsor organizations, and staff for the non-profit's biggest fundraiser of the year, a community ride in Lampasas to kick off the 2023 team's summer ride. I scheduled over 350 hours of volunteering and served as volunteers' point of contact the day of the event, quickly solving logistical issues.
