I am responsible for managing several tasks under the direction and guidance of the Director of Multicultural Student Services. These tasks assist in the production of educational and social programming aimed at the personal development, retention, and success of its students. MSS works with existing offices and organizations to promote systemic change by increasing social interaction and developing diversity and leadership training.

During my Junior year of college, I worked as a student receptionist in the Brain Center. In this position I helped the office by answering phone calls, collecting and distributing mail, and updating office documents. While answering calls at the receptionist desk I directed students to the appropriate employee or resource provided by the Brain Center. The focus in my position was to help the efficiency of the Brain Center and to be a helping hand to the employees.

My project was created during an academic course I completed spring semester of 2017 at Baldwin Wallace University. The supervisor of my research project was Kay Strong Ph.D. is the chair of the economics department in the university's school of business. The class was a discussion-based course on topics of sustainability and economic development of communities through the comparison of different community’s resiliency. Including a service-learning component in Slavic Village (Cleveland, Ohio), bring learning to life by connecting classroom content to community engagement opportunities. Throughout the course, students individually created research-based projects rating the resiliency of the Slavic Village community and recommending possible solutions to key issues. Presenting their research individually during Baldwin Wallace’s Day of Excellence signature event, Ovation Festival. A campus-wide research presentation event.

I conducted my research under the supervision of Judy Krutky Ph.D., the Director of Intercultural Education at Baldwin Wallace University. Students participating as mock delegates conduct research as an illustration of factors determining the behavior of assigned country in intergovernmental organizations. Upon completion of research, students participate in Howard University's International Model African Union. This is an opportunity for university students to study a delegators role, committee structure, and activities of the African Union including the economic, social, and political-security issues facing African countries.
