community involvement

During my schooling, I collaborated with a team of students to develop a website for the St. Clair County Down Syndrome Support Group, a local organization focused on education, awareness, and community support.

The website included multiple sections and pages including donation functionality, contact and email systems, and resource pages highlighting Down syndrome and related support groups. Although the website is no longer active, the project required close collaboration with both teammates and the organization to align design, functionality, and accessibility with their goals.

This experience strengthened my ability to work with contractors and allowed me to contribute to a project with community impact.

Outside of programming, I've worked with numerous farmers markets and financial aid programs such as WIC Produce Connection, SNAP, and Senior Project Fresh to help my mother's business accept alternate forms of payment.

Through this experience, I've helped raise awareness around health and smart eating within my community while also learning how to navigate financial assistance programs.
