Summer 2013
- I traveled abroad with the Northern Ambassadors of Music to numerous countries, playing clarinet in the student band. We toured multiple countries, getting small tastes of each culture and learning what we could about that specific country. (Countries visited include England, France, Germany, Lichtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy)
- I participated in the Rome program through the University of Mary. I spent 4 months living in Rome with a group of students. In our time there, we studied the culture we were living in and traveled Europe experiencing other cultures along the way. (Countries visited include Ireland, Spain, Poland, Austria, Italy, and France)
- Volunteer time at Therapeutic Riding 4 Heart and Soul
- I helped the program directer set up for lessons, carry lessons out, and clean up. Children and adults with disabilities participate in this horse based program.
- Coaching at Century High School
- The first few seasons I coached, we worked with a student with Down Syndrome. I still see her at sporting events today and can see the positive effects of having been on the cheerleading team.
