The First-Year Mentor provides an opportunity for upper-level students to help new students experience a positive transition to college. Mentors act as a guide through new student orientation and throughout the first year of college. Mentors offer peer insight into academic and social life at college, as well as help introduce students to activities and events on campus.

The John Montgomery Service Leaders program is distinctive to Dickinson College. Montgomery Service Leaders commit to building a relationship with one partner from the surrounding community. The program consists of four levels, each allowing the member to delve deeper into their involvement with their organization and therein have a greater impact. This program serves as a work study for members, although we are payed through the college itself, not the non-profit that we are partnered with. I personally work as an Administrative and Social Media Assistant at Project SHARE, a non-profit based in the town of Carlisle that helps provide food, clothing, nutrition education and links to other community resources for over 3,000 people per month.

My internship with First Presbyterian Church in Beaver, Pennsylvania served as a continuation to the internship I held with them the previous summer. I took on more responsibility this summer as I took on the title of lead intern. This internship required me to lead weekly bible studies, manage logistics and finances for different outreach opportunities for the youth ministry and create activities for children, adolescents, and teenagers. I was in charge of making sure to effectively communicate between the youth pastor and other interns.

Oversee and coordinate business operations for a start up social media corporation. As co-founder, I am responsible for monitoring the company's overall business status. This includes everything from coordinating pay for corporate taxes to recruiting new members to add to the team. GabbleNote LLC is a vocal social media initiative designed to give the user a "hands free" social media experience. One can share voice clips, sound bits, and videos, all while allowing those who follow them to view what they have posted.

In the summer of 2014, I had the honor of interning at my home church, First Presbyterian of Beaver, PA. Throughout this internship, I was afforded the opportunity to partially experience the position of youth pastor. FPC of Beaver is home to over 800 members. As youth ministry interns, we were responsible for over 100 kids and teens ranging in ages from 4 to 18. Throughout the summer, I personally was responsible for leading and organizing a college and high school bible study, assisting in organizing and participating in a mission trip to Richwood, West Virginia, and organizing vacation bible school.

I was responsible for keeping the cemetery grounds in exceptional condition while also maintaining the machinery needed to be used on a day-to-day basis.

I worked on a privately owned farm tending to the grounds. I was responsible for making sure that everything on the owner's land was kept in outstanding condition.

I worked first as a volunteer and later as an employee, providing intellectually disabled campers from the ages of 8 to 18 a place to go while their parents worked. The camp ran for 3 weeks every summer. My responsibilities involved working 1 on 1 with the person I was paired with, as well as helping to organize games and activities.
