2021 – 2023 Student Ambassador for the UF Digital Worlds Institute:
As a former Student Ambassador at DW, I collaborated with staff to enhance student recruitment efforts by delivering presentations, conducting tours, and engaging with prospective students online. Through this role, I developed leadership and communication skills while promoting the Digital Worlds Institute. I assisted in recruitment programs, warmly greeted, and communicated with prospective students and families, and helped the college with different events. Being a Student Ambassador provided me with valuable opportunities for personal and professional growth while representing the institution with pride.
2021 – 2023 BADAS Mentorship Program Co-founder and Vicepresident
I co-founded the BADAS Mentorship Program, a transformative initiative that was designed to support and empower incoming freshmen and sophomore students. Our program paired them with experienced juniors and seniors who served as mentors throughout their academic journey. We went beyond conventional mentorship by also matching students based on shared career interests, fostering a sense of community and facilitating valuable connections. To further assist students, we conducted portfolio reviews, organized study workshops, and hosted events where participants were encouraged to reflect on their aspirations and develop strategic plans for the future.
2022 UF Blockchain Lab Ambassador
I had represented the Blockchain Lab at various events, including the Miami Buildathon 2022 where our team won an award. Additionally, I had the privilege of attending ETH Denver, where I conducted interviews on behalf of the lab, engaging with industry experts. Moreover, I had the honor of being invited as a panel speaker at BitBasel Miami 2022. I also participated in the Blockchain Lab at University of Florida – Environmental Sustainability (Powered by Algorand) competition, where I received second place for the NFT art competition with my piece “The Forest”.
