Association for India's Development is a non-profit organization that helps to empower communities in India by connecting villages with local NGOs. As one of the Co-founders of the UNC Chapter, currently, I serve as Co-President. I help to review project proposals, fundraise and host local educational and volunteer events surrounding social justice-related issues in India.

I am working closely with the Chief Nursing Officer of Emory DeKalb Operating Unit to build a solid foundation for Magnet recognition. My project surrounds designing engaging and empowering standard Magnet boards throughout all units of the hospital.

My daily project work surrounds qualitatively analyzing survey responses from nonprofits, looking at the needs of nonprofits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Past projects I have lead include coordinating resources for NC's nonprofits as a result of the pandemic as well as grants requested in the survey.

As an Analytical Chemistry mentor, I helped facilitate student learning in and out of the classroom. I engaged with students during class by answering questions and checking student's understanding of the course material. Additionally, I hosted weekly review sessions where I would review topics, and walk through chemistry problem-solving strategies.

I was a quantitative research assistant in the Department of Sociology, under Professor Laura Krull, specifically focusing on sexuality and religion. The project studied how religious traditions like Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, and Methodist denominations within the U.S. responded to same-sex couples. I read email responses to churches and coded them for specific phrases and words, ultimately determining if churches were welcoming to couples.

Certified in Basic Life Support, Basic First Aid, and Emergency Oxygen, I helped to maintain a safe pool environment for adults and children. I remained vigilant of the pool area, ensured the pool deck remained clean, and practiced life-saving techniques on a routine basis.
