Rachelle-Mae Flores, a first-year nursing student at Raritan Valley Community College, personifies a leader in service who has found creative ways to continue helping the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite her demanding academic course load, and the inability to volunteer in person during the pandemic, Rachelle-Mae has continued serving the local nursing home where she volunteered before the public health crisis. Rachelle-Mae has produced recordings of her piano playing that are shared with residents during mealtime, bringing much-needed cheer to seniors at a time of so much social isolation. She is also supporting a local adult day center by researching various virtual platforms, resources, and services that exist for seniors to keep them engaged. An art aficionado, Rachelle-Mae has created colored drawings that are sent to organizations that deliver them to seniors and troops overseas. She is also extending her services toward the mental health community by volunteering for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. At RVCC, Rachelle-Mae supports fellow students by organizing virtual study space sessions to encourage their academic success. She also has volunteered at the College’s Food Pantry. Dr. Michael J.
