As President, I preside over chapter meetings and chapter executive board meetings, appoint non-elected officers to their positions, if necessary, ensure that all deadlines to the national organization are met, guide the work of all chapter officers, serve as the chapter's main communication link with the campus, the Board of Directors, and advisors. Additionally, I provide a tentative schedule of events for the semester at the first meeting of each semester, and more.

I worked with four other students from Virginia Tech, as well as faculty from the AAEC department in collaboration with Ecuadorian government employees from INIAP and students from ESPOCH (a university in Ecuador). We surveyed farmers in several communities within Riobamba about their conservation agriculture (CA) practices in order to measure the impact of CA on their economy. In preparation for our time in Ecuador, my classmates and I also took intensive Spanish classes and developed the survey that we used to interview the farmers. After the trip, we evaluated our data using R-studio. With this, we wrote a paper and created a presentation on our findings.

In this role, my team and I assisted Virginia Tech in reaching their 2020 water-related climate action goals. We also organized and hosted rain barrel workshops around Blacksburg and our campus to educate people of all ages about the benefits of rain barrels. One of our side projects consisted of submitting green RFPs to improve water quality and decrease waste at Virginia Tech. I have gained experience in cross-departmental communication, as well as developing/implementing plans to improve sustainability in the real world.
