Personal Statement
My time at CSB/SJU has been focused on engaging with the community and putting those experiences in the greater context of my educational and career aspirations. I participate in the Bonner Leader Program, which aims to involve students in the community to develop their interpersonal skills and awareness of social justice issues. Through this program, I work as a Service-Learning Academic Coordinator in the office of Experiential Learning & Community Engagement (ELCE) where I facilitate the connection between students and partners in central Minnesota.
I am also a National Ambassador for STOMP Out Bullying, an anti-bullying organization aimed at reducing issues in bullying on social media. I have connected with experts in the field and promoted the organization through various mediums such as Twitter, Facebook, The Steve Harvey Show, and On Air with Ryan Seacrest.
Additionally, I took part in an internship at Mayo Clinic this past summer in which I explored, with other researchers, various ways to treat chronic pain from a psychological perspective. Currently, I am working to expand those efforts as I am abroad in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and serving as a volunteer with the Missionvale Care Center.
