As a long-term member and leader of the Rise Against Hunger club, I helped organize and run large-scale meal packaging events that produced more than 250,000 meals across five years of events. In a leadership role I helped raise $20,000, double the goal, and coordinated the teams responsible for planning and execution. The work ran through high school and into 2024 as an alumni assistant.
