SERVER
Professional Summary

The service industry has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My grandfather owned a restaurant supply company along with 4 other restaurants where I have all worked at. Serving allows me to enjoy my extroverted side and meet new people while being able to work and have a good time. I really like talking to others and getting to meet new people. I have a huge passion for service and like to volunteer when I can. Last year, I had the pleasure of planning an Autism Awareness Benefit my senior year of high school. We raised over $27,000 for the SOS Health Care housing project. I am a huge people person and have an aspiring dream to be an ER Physician's Assistant that I am pursing confidently.

HOBY

HOBY or the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership program is a national leadership program for sophomores all over the world. I attended as an ambassador in 2017 and fell in love with the message of the program; to teach kids not what to think but how to think through analyzing societal leadership, group leadership, and personal leadership. After going to the seminar for my ambassador year I further went on to represent South Carolina at the World Leadership Congress with 364 other kids from 14 different countries. HOBY has taught me so much about my self and my passion for leadership. Since my year at HOBY, I have volunteered every year as an Ambassador Relations Team Alumni where I am paired with a group of sophomore for the seminar and help walk them through the program. I have also been fortunate enough to join the Recruitment team and contact schools around South Carolina about sending ambassadors to our seminar.
