Community Service

My heart for refugees began in 5th grade when I interviewed the director of a non-profit serving Syrian refugees for a school project. My heart broke for people who were suddenly displaced from their homes, families, and professions. Since that day, I have sought to welcome our new neighbors and help them create a home in the United States despite all they have lost.

I have volunteered regularly within the refugee community of Dallas, which represents over 56 different countries. I have also served vulnerable children from Memphis to Zambia. No matter where I am, I hear powerful stories of crisis and resilience. While each is important and unique, a unifying theme weaves through every story: We all want safety and belonging. We all have dreams for the future. We all long for a place to call home.

Through extensive service locally and globally, my current service projects will lead me to graduate with over 500 verified community service hours.

Founder

Supplies for Success

I founded Supplies for Success to provide school supplies for refugee students participating in the tutoring and kids club where I volunteer.

I raise awareness about the refugee community in Dallas and receive donations to provide all the school district's required supplies. This summer, we collected, organized, and distributed over 5,400 school supplies.

Northwest Community Center

Most of my volunteering is dedicated to the Northwest Community Center, which had more than 31,500 visits by refugees last year.

I lead the Elementary & Worship Teams for a refugee summer program, tutor kids, set up apartments for newly-arriving families, distribute resources such as diapers and hygiene items, help host baby showers, and help families shop at our annual, free Christmas market.

Street Reach in Memphis, TN

For two summers, I served on the teaching team at a day camp for at-risk children in urban Memphis. Each day, we met children at their homes and brought them to day camp for activities and lessons.

Family Legacy in Lusaka, Zambia

In 2024, I was gifted the opportunity to serve some of Zambia’s most vulnerable children. I invested most closely with 10 children, leading them in camp activities & group lessons as they prepare to receive ongoing support and resources.
