Outreach & Activities
Here you can learn about what I was committed to during my time at Clemson outside of academics such as ministry, community memberships, and part-time jobs.
Campus Outreach
Campus Outreach is a college student ministry around the world. They exist to encourage students to know more of Jesus and deepen their faith with other college students. I have been involved in Bible Studies for all my 4 years at Clemson, regular events, and on the Media team since sophomore year, as well as completing a Marketing and Communications Resources Internship my Junior Fall semester. I have gone on multiple trips each year with CO, such as our 3-week Leadership Project in Murrells Inlet, SC; Raleigh, NC; St. Simons Island, GA; Chattanooga, TN; and even on a mission trip in San Diego, CA.
NewSpring
From September 2022 to December 2025, I attended and was involved with NewSpring Church in Clemson. Starting in December 2023, I was a volunteer for Kidspring on Sundays with the toddlers, and occasionally volunteered for other events.
SCLA Honor Society
At the beginning of the Fall 2025 semester, I was nominated by a Clemson professor to join the Society for Collegiate Leadership & Achievement. SCLA provides students with online courses, training tools, scholarships, career prep such as resume building, networking experiences, and much more.

On the side, I have my personal small art business where I create a wide range of creative work including colored pencil drawings, painting, tattoo designs, logo designs and more! Here you can view some samples of my artwork.
Working in Downtown Clemson
I worked at Mr. Knickerbocker's during my sophomore year from August 2023 to January 2024, and I worked at Alumni Hall in Clemson during my junior year from July to November 2025. They are both Clemson merchandise/ retail sports stores. During these experiences, I got to connect real-world business concepts to the work I was doing. During busy football game days, when downtown Clemson was packed with fans, it taught me how to work under fast-paced pressure when we had long lines of excited customers waiting to buy merchandise. I also had to learn how to interact with both customers and co-workers, including conflict resolution and effective communication.
