Personal Statement
My passion for service learning evolved during my ten months spent working as an AmeriCorps NCCC Corps Member after graduating high school. Now that I am at Plymouth State University, I'm grateful I can continue pursing this passion as a Student Ambassador in the Office of Community Impact. I facilitate the Angel Tree Project on campus, getting donations out to approximately 300 local children during the holiday season. I am also involved in the Alternative Spring Break Club and the International Service Trip group. Most recently, I traveled to Westmoreland, Jamaica with a group of students to volunteer at the Association of Clubs, and I am currently planning a trip to Pennsylvania to spend a week volunteering at an eco-farm. I am extremely passionate about service learning, as well as inspiring fellow students to advocate for social justice issues. My goal is to pursue a career in a community service related field. I love to volunteer, hike, read, ski, and hang out with animals.
