Leadership Development
The skills obtained from my LeADERS designated courses and experiences helped me in my leadership positions in and outside of the classroom. Since 2019 to present, I have been serving as the director’s assistant for Virgin Islands Regal Events Inc., (VIRE). In this capacity, I assist with the Miss United States Virgin Islands, Caribbean Queen Pageants and Coronations. I also manage their social media page and create the annual calendar. I also have a keen sense for problem solving, as I have solved internal and external complications. I also track and monitor our organizational goals.
In addition, from 2020 to present, I have been serving as an officer trainer for the Virgin Islands chapter of FCCLA. In this capacity, I trained members in professionalism and organizational etiquette as new Chapter officers. I also assisted with the organization and execution of recruitment drives and leadership training. I have planned events around community service projects and social activities. Furthermore, I assisted students with college selection and post-high school career planning.
Most recently, since 2022, I also have been serving as the Auxiliary Division Leader and Co-Strategic Division Leader for the Miss Caribbean Universe Pageant System (MCU). As the Auxiliary Division Leader, I manage my own team, and ensure that all assigned tasks are executed seamlessly. As a Co-Strategic Division Leader, I help to formulate organizational goals and assist with their implementation.
