I started volunteering when I still lived in North Carolina, for roughly around three years I went with a group from my church to hand out lunches we made earlier that day to low-income neighborhoods in the vicinity. After I moved to Massachusetts, I continued to hand out lunches to low-income families for around two years. However, I was a part of my towns soup kitchen. In high school, I joined the Charley’s Fund club in which I have helped raise around 1,000 dollars by sitting out and asking for donations.

I started officially working as a gas station employee at the end of eight grade at Papas Healthy Food and Fuel (2000 E Otis Rd, East Otis, MA 01029). I worked there from March 2020 to March 2021. During the second semester of my sophomore year in high school, I started working as a Lifeguard at Berkshire South Community Center (15 Crissey Rd, Great Barrington, MA 01230), March 2021-Present. During the second semester of my junior year, I started working as a Line chef/waiter at Paige’s Place (119 S Main Rd, Otis, MA 01253-9735) March 2024-Present. More recently I have started driving for DoorDash and Instacart to supplement my other two jobs.
