BLACKSTAR* Magazine
Executive Producer & Treasurer · Emory University Emory's first and only Black student publication. I came in as Treasurer and left as Executive Producer. In between, I expanded the magazine's financial capacity more than ever, led the team under the theme of Black Maximalism, and co-produced a release party and fashion show that put Black creatives at the center of campus culture.
$11K+ annual budget managed
$15.5K+ in supplemental funding secured
2024 Executive Producer, Black Maximalism
Finance Full ledger management and financial reporting. I brought transparency to a funding model that had never had it — and used that clarity to unlock more resources for editorial and events.
Production Oversaw multi-concept editorial shoots, coordinated creative leads across editorial and social, and co-produced flagship events that pushed the magazine beyond its pages.
Legacy BLACKSTAR* has been telling Black stories at Emory since 2011. My job was to honor that — and expand what it could be.

Club Sports Council
President · Emory University 30+ teams. 1,250+ athletes. More than $515,000 in annual budget requests. I inherited an organization that had outgrown its own governing document — and spent my term rebuilding the foundation so it could actually hold the weight.
$515K+ in annual budget requests overseen
30+ budget hearings chaired
250+ students at annual banquet
Reform Led a full constitutional review. Merged the monetary code into the main governing document. Built clearer procedures for elections, succession, and accountability — the kind of infrastructure that outlasts any one term.
Finance Revised funding caps, refined allocation formulas, and chaired 30+ budget hearings. The goal wasn't just balanced books — it was making sure clubs with genuine need had what they needed to compete.
Community Launched an End-of-Semester Brunch, introduced graduation cords, and expanded the annual banquet. Leadership is policy. It's also showing people they belong.

Emory Club Gymnastics
President · Emory University I joined as Events Coordinator. Within a year I was President. I took a loosely organized team and built it into one of the fastest-growing club programs on campus — 77% membership growth in a single year, 100% retention, and a culture that actually stuck.
77% membership growth in one year
$39.5K+ annual budget managed
50 pgs SOP written from scratch
Operations Managed a $39,500+ budget with real-time ledger tracking. Led a 10-member Executive Board. Orchestrated 8+ intercollegiate competitions annually and expanded practice time and carpool infrastructure to keep athletes showing up.
Systems Wrote a 50-page Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) so the next administration didn't have to figure it out from scratch. Restructured the constitution, launched Notion as a central hub, and built the first annual End-of-Year Report.
Culture Introduced honor cords for graduating seniors. Launched a Media Day with professional portraits. Turned the banquet into a real tradition. Small things that made people feel like they were part of something.

Student Government Association
Presidential Candidate · Communications Committee · Emory University I ran for SGA President. Over 550 students voted for me. Had I won, I would have been the first Black SGA President at Emory. I didn't win — but I challenged an unfair election process, took it to the Constitutional Council, and changed how elections will be run at Emory for years to come.
550+ votes in presidential campaign

7K+ students reached via comms channel
Campaign Built a full visual identity and messaging platform around transparency and advocacy. Ran a real campaign — and earned real votes.
Reform When the process wasn't fair, I didn't walk away. My appeal to the Constitutional Council succeeded and led to election reforms that will outlast my time at Emory.
Comms On the Communications Committee, I helped manage the undergraduate-wide communication channel reaching 7,000+ students across Emory College, Goizueta, and the School of Nursing.

National Student Leadership Conference
Assistant Team Advisor & Resident Advisor · American University Summer 2022. American University. 80+ high school students navigating their first real taste of independence — and me responsible for making sure it went well. I facilitated leadership sessions, managed residential life, and chaperoned excursions across three Communications programs.
80+ students as Resident Advisor
20+ team discussions facilitated daily
3 Communications programs supported
Facilitation Led 20+ daily team discussions and leadership sessions across Digital Arts, Film Production, and Journalism programs — adapting in real time to different learning styles and energy levels.
Residential As RA to 80+ students, I enforced policies and handled late-night crises — but mostly I tried to make sure teenagers felt safe and capable. Those are different jobs.
Community The goal wasn't to run a program. It was to build a space where students discovered new skills — and new confidence in themselves.
