I am a student researcher from Genesee County Michigan. I have been a resident of the county since 2015. I am currently finishing my undergraduate degree in Organizational Leadership at Central Michigan University. I will graduate on May 9, 2026. I am also a graduate student in the accelerated Master of Science in Administration in Public Administration program. My final graduation will be in 2027.

My commitment to international service began in 2017. During that time I completed a 1 week volunteer program in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I worked with the Karen community to support elephant conservation and monitor animal health in the remote mountains. This experience taught me how to lead in diverse environments and how to protect natural resources.

Now I am conducting a 12 week leadership residency in the Dawasamu District of Fiji in June 2026. My primary project is an Environmental Leadership Study. I will be observing how local leaders manage sustainability policies like the plastic free initiative. I am documenting the methods used to protect the local coral reefs and freshwater sources. This helps me understand how to manage public resources in a way that protects nature for the future.

I am also developing 10 visual communication tools for local teachers. These tools use icons to explain water safety and waste management rules without language barriers. This work helps the community protect their environment and keep their water clean.

This academic work is the foundation for my future career in Public Administration. I plan to bring these global insights back to Michigan to help lead environmental and public service programs. You can follow my progress and view my data reports on this page as I complete my residency.
