EDUCATION

ELIZABETHTON HIGH SCHOOL ELIZABETHTON, TN SENIOR

Throughout my four year journey at Elizabethton High School I have made sure to challenge
myself with a rigorous schedule, including Honors, Dual Enrollment, and AP classes. I have
been able to maintain my 4.0 GPA despite these trials and am currently ranked 1/190 in my
class. I also took care in choosing my electives to furthermore enrich my education. Many of
these classes influenced my volunteer work within the community and guided my decisions on
focusing on a career in the marketing field.

playground.

business and industry, medical facilities, and touring college campuses; all while learning
fundamental lessons on how to be a leader.

SERVICE

CROSS ROADS MISSION TRIP

July 2011
This was a tornado clean-up project in the rural area of Marion, VA. Our project was split into
two parts; one was to help repair an elderly ladys roof that had been damaged during the
storm. The other was to rebuild a porch for the local nursing home that had been demolished
by a fallen tree. I spent three days there in order to complete by both projects.
JUBILEE PROJECT
March 2012
This mission work took me to a rural area of Hancock County, TN where we were tasked with

moving furniture and laying flooring, but a majority of my time was spent digging a drainage
ditch to help maintain the property.
VETERANS DAY DINNER
September 2013 November 2013
A small group from Youth Leadership were able to plan and fundraise a free dinner to veterans
in their honor. I was placed in charge of fundraising and through communicating with several
local businesses successfully collected over $1,000. This money went towards decorations,
food, and the surplus was donated to the Chamber of Commerce to support Youth Leadership.
I was also helpful in advertising through a radio interview and handing fliers out at local
restaurants. The leftover food from the event was donated to a local womans shelter and the
county prison.
SECOND HARVEST FOOD BANK
December 2013
I spent a day at the local Second Harvest Food Bank center bagging food that would be sent to
those less fortunate families that could not have bought the food themselves.
