About Me

While my JAGS experiences will be described in more detail in each section of my portfolio, I want to take this time to briefly describe what JAGS has done for me. As a freshman, I was able to experience my first GO Night. In a group, we researched different countries, and how they related to each other, as well as their differences too.  As a sophomore, I was just trying to get through the devastating disease known as COVID-19. Almost everything was canceled or shut down, and it made for a year of survival. My sophomore year was also my first year with JAGS Summit Night. For my sophomore summit night project,  I worked with a group of my peers to create a documentary about global perspectives on taxes. My junior year introduced new ideas, and projects. Our main project was a global communication research project. The International Friends Conversation Partner Program (IFCPP) was hosted by Kent State University (KSU) and had the goal of connecting globally-minded students from all around the world. And finally my senior year! Everything has basically gone back to normal, and I am currently finishing up my Senior Capstone. 

I have completed over 60 hours of community service for JAGS, and I have learned many things I would have never cared about if I did not join JAGS.
