Through my college experience, I got an opportunity to bring 3 of my friends to the Sonoma Authors Festival and work the weekend. In April 2023, we helped set up and run the Festival. We were the first Chico State students asked to come on and helped to manage the event. It was enlightening to see an event like this in action and taught me a lot about management and customer service. I enjoyed working with their team and seeing the behind the scenes of a large scale book festival.

Since I was a freshman in high school, my family has been putting on elaborate murder mysteries. My dad and I write customized scripts and plan a year in advance to make it happen. We go all out with sets, costumes, and handwritten scripts for everyone. The first year we only had around 15 people and since we have grown to over 30 every year. The script takes weeks and a lot of works to facilitate a story taking place in the course of one night. It is a labor of love that has helped push me towards the career I want to pursue.

One of my senior classes during my last semester at Chico State provided an opportunity to put on a school sponsored event. I was picked as one of two Event Coordinators who helped facilitate and mediate our peers into a successful event. We put on a Mock Wedding for two Alumni walking down the aisle in January. My job was to coordinate between committees and make sure the event went as planned by all involved. In a few months, we organized and executed something I am proud of.

Every semester before the Pandemic, the professors and local dance studios would hold a dance night for students to practice what they learned in a social setting. This stopped and the studio involved went out of business during Covid, so these events fell to the club to solve. I spearheaded reinstating these events and was able to have three since. We were moving forward and I gave the club all of the tools to make bigger events in the coming years.

In my Program Planning Class, a group of students and I created a Scavenger Hunt to help freshman and transfer students acclimate to their new campus. This was in the Spring Semester of 2020, so we were unable to actually put the program on, but we created every single aspect we could, so if we had the chancel we could do the program later. It would get the students to interact with professors, learn the campus, remember names of campus buildings, and get to know other students on campus.
