Lambda Pi Eta is Communications National Honors Society that allows me to hold career panels and volunteer for the department of Communication Studies at The College of New Jersey. I hold the position of Vice President of Scholarship and Membership for this club. The club raises awareness for the Communication Studies major as a whole and also allows students within the major to receive insight on possible future internships and careers.
Alternative Break Club
I am Executive of Fund Raising for my beloved Alternative Break Club, an organization I feel honored just to be a part of. This new club at The College Of New Jersey takes volunteer students down to New Orleans for two trips, one in winter and one in spring, in order to assist the rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Katrina. My experience rebuilding houses in New Orleans really changed my life and taught me to appreciate everything I have in my life. As an executive board member, coordinating trips to New Orleans for 50 students is no easy task. This student-run organization plans every detail from the transportation down, the housing for the students, the work assignments and the social events. It was quite frenzied at first, but it is true what they say, “Practice makes perfect.” My personal job as Executive of Fund Raising was executed by selling t-shirts, shot glasses and hosting ‘restaurant nights.’ I will never forget my New Orleans experience and would not trade it for anything in the world.
Below is a picture of the club on the Winter 2010 trip.
Pi Sigma Epsilon
Pi Sigma Epsilon is a Co-Educational Professional Business Fraternity focusing on Sales and Marketing. This organization allowed me to compete in a National Sales and Public Speaking Competition in Buffalo, New York in November of 2009 with participating universities, Cornell University, University of Connecticut, Penn State University and several others. The College of New Jersey won the overall competition by winning the most points as a team. Pi Sigma Epsilon helped me to strengthen my selling and marketing skills in a professional business setting through different panels, training sessions and mentoring.
Women’s Intercollegiate Softball
I have always had a passion for sports and was fortunate enough to continue to stay active with athletics until the end of my sophomore year. I have always loved being a part of a team and playing together through the good times and the bad. My second year playing softball at Raritan Valley Community College I was made captain of my team. I learned how to lead a team of girls and step up and take responsibilities on my own shoulders. As captain I also was honored with Coaches Award, an award that is given by both the players’ and coaches’ choice to the player that demonstrates the most heart and teamwork throughout the season. This award meant the most to me because not only did it come from the coaches, but by my own teammates and peers. Softball and sports as a whole instilled a sense of collaboration in me ever since I could swing a ball at a tee and has assisted my performance in the workplace and classroom as well when working with others.
