Outreach & Extracurricular
Outside of the academic world, I have been involved in many amazing opportunities, which have allowed me to further interests not as feasible in my coursework.
Quarryscape Elevation | 2025
AIA Columbia, SC - Merit Award, Quarryscape
Spring 2025
Received the Merit Award for my project, Quarryscape, completed during the Spring semester of my Sophomore year. Quarryscape features an arts center functioning as the link between the arts district and bordering quarry. Exploring the form of this unique manmade geological element, the project inverts the walls of an excavated void into a solid, juxtaposing the external masses with a light and delicate biophilic atrium. The mise-en-scène of the winding landscape is reminiscent of the aftereffects of a quarry in rebirth. Whether atop the multiple green roofs, a grassy amphitheatre, or on the circumambulatory museum exhibits, each step through this sequence of delineated scenes urges the gathering of community and nature.
Phi Kappa Phi Society Member
2025 - Present
A collegiate honors society offered only to the top 7.5% of Juniors (and 10% of Seniors) nationwide, in which I was invited to join during my 2nd year. Founded in 1897, it is the oldest and most selective all-discipline honor society in the US.
President's List | Clemson University
2023 - 2026
I have had the honor of being in the select group of scholars who received a 4.0 GPA are awarded with a position on the President's list for each semester I have completed at Clemson University.
Volunteer Walking Tour Guide at Jackson Hole Historical Society & Museum
2022 - 2026
Over the past couple years, I have led walking tours around the existing historical buildings of downtown Jackson. I grew up going to the museum and now have been able to give back while learning more about my hometown, and the paradox of densification vs. preservation.
Dixon Fellows | Entrepreneurship, Exploring Cultures around the World through Food
2023 - 2025
As part of Clemson University's Dixon Fellow program, I was been able to, with a partner, design a transportable vertical farm greenhouse within a shipping container. The following year I participated in another program where we would meet monthly and learn about and try food from a different place around the world.
Student Ambassador for Clemson's College of Arts and Humanities
2024 - Present
Since declaring my second major in my freshman year, I have been a student ambassador, and have participated in bi-weekly meetings and lectures, and have also helped out with Open-House days, student outreach, and writing congratulatory postcards to admitted students.
Conversation Partners
2023 - Present
This program allows international students to form friendships with domestic students and practice their English while learning about each others cultures. I have had the opportunity of having 7 partners so far, and have made great friendships and had compelling conversations about religion, family, culture, sports, and the differing worlds of academics.
Clemson Cru | Bible Study Leader
2024 - 2025
After attending Cru meetings and bible studies as a freshman, during my sophomore year I became a bible study leader for freshman. We would meet once as a whole, and then in small groups for discipleship training.
Reading Editor for the Seabirds, Pidgwick, & Calculated Series
2017 - Present
As I have aged through the various age ranges of the target readers, I have been able to provide feedback on storylines, plots, grammar, and character development for three book series, two of which have been published, and one which is now in the filming stages for a TV show.
