Built a structured onboarding program with a formal orientation that I designed and lead myself every month. I also schedule each session and communicate with new volunteers to ensure they have the information they need.

Launched a peer-trainer team to pair experienced volunteers with newcomers, boosting engagement and creating a culture of mentorship. 

Created compliance tools for animal care, including a medication tracking system, numbered med caddy, and vaccination tracker, ensuring every animal receives consistent, high-quality care and every volunteer knows exactly what to do. 

Streamlined every touchpoint of volunteer communication: combined application + waiver, standardized onboarding and FAQ messages, quick reminders for shifts and meds, and a weekly email newsletter that keeps everyone engaged.

Independently built the Pathways to Potential (P2P) program in a new elementary school with little more instruction than “here’s your school, go fix everything.” Created programming, partnerships, and events that continue to make a lasting impact on students and families.

Developed a partnership with Henry Ford Museum, starting with a successful school pilot and then expanding to all P2P schools in Oakland County, that gave hundreds of students access to immersive cultural learning experiences.

Created All-Star Night, a celebration recognizing students who showed improvement in  attendance, citizenship, and academics. Recruited volunteers, managed logistics, and brought the event to life - right down to decorating the gym myself.

Launched a Kindness Club to reward students for showing exemplary citizenship and being kind to others. Designed the nomination process, organized monthly activities, and personally hosted each event.

Started an end-of-year book giveaway so every student could take home a book they loved. I secured a corporate sponsor, hand-picked every title, and hosted the event in a classroom that I transformed for one day into a “bookshop”.
