Student Organizations

My goal is to be a role model and inspire other students to get involved in organizations they are passionate about. At Ithaca, I aim to join groups that hone my creative talents and allow me to meet others who share the same drive. I want to be seen as trustworthy and hardworking, ready to step into leadership positions when needed.

Admission Host

Ithaca College Office of Admission

I began my position as an Admission Host in the Ithaca College Office of Admission at the start of the Fall 2025 semester. In this role, I serve as a welcoming presence for visitors entering the Peggy Ryan Williams Center and lead campus tours for prospective students and their families. The tour guide training process not only deepened my knowledge of Ithaca College but also made me more aware of the wide range of resources and opportunities available to students. Being part of the Admission team has allowed me to connect with peers from a variety of majors and backgrounds, broadening my perspective on campus life. This experience has strengthened my leadership and communication skills, as I now confidently guide groups around campus, share my personal experiences, and represent the IC community with pride.

Premium Blend

Ithaca College's Only

Female-Aligned Accapella Group

Premium Blend Logo

In September of my freshman year, I was one of five people accepted into Premium Blend, Ithaca College’s premier all-female-identifying a cappella group. Since joining, I’ve been an enthusiastic and committed member. I rehearse five hours each week, spread over two days, and dedicate an additional 45 minutes to individual practice. Throughout the year, we perform at various events both on campus and within the broader Ithaca community, and we also go on tour to perform in our members’ hometowns.

In January, I had the exciting opportunity to compete with Premium Blend at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA). After advancing past the quarterfinals, we competed again at the semifinals in March. Looking ahead to the Fall 2025 semester, I’m thrilled to be stepping into a leadership role as the group’s Communications Director, where I’ll be helping to coordinate our social media outreach, promotion, and group communications.

In the fall of my sophomore year, I officially stepped into the role of Communications Director for the group. In this position, I managed our social media presence by creating engaging posts that promoted our concerts and events, helping to grow our audience and online reach. Through these marketing efforts, we successfully raised over $2,000 to support our tours and future projects. I also organized photoshoots, designed concert posters, and launched an online merchandise store to expand our brand and fundraising opportunities. Looking ahead to the coming semester, I’m eager to continue building on this momentum by using my role to strengthen connections with our alumni and foster a greater sense of community across generations of members.

IC Performing Arts Collective

Ithaca College's New, Accessible Musical Theatre Club!

In March 2025, I was invited to join the Executive Board of a brand-new musical theatre organization on campus, the Ithaca College Performing Arts Collective (ICPAC). Since then, I’ve proudly served as the Producing Director—a role that places me at the heart of our creative work. In this position, I oversee all aspects of our productions and serve as the primary liaison between the production teams and the E-Board, ensuring clear communication and smooth collaboration throughout each project.

SPRING 2025 To introduce ICPAC to the campus community and begin building our presence, we launched our first-ever event: The Pipe Dream cabaret. The theme of the performance centered around “dream roles,” with cast members performing songs from characters they’ve always aspired to play. I was heavily involved in both the production and direction of the cabaret and also had the joy of performing in the show myself. It was an exciting and fulfilling experience that marked the beginning of what I believe will be a vibrant and inspiring new chapter for musical theatre at Ithaca College.

FALL 2025 This semester, the IC Performing Arts Collective proudly produced its first full-length musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee! Throughout the process, I served as the Producing Director, supporting the creative team and cast in any way I could, from coordinating logistics and managing production needs to fostering a positive and collaborative environment. I also had the opportunity to perform in the show, which made the experience even more rewarding. The production received overwhelmingly positive feedback from audiences, and nearly every performance was sold out, marking an exciting milestone for our organization. We also worked on building our relationship with other student theatre organizations, and began doing some cross-promotion with them.

Non-Profit Theatre Company

Dedicated to Storytelling

I began working with Ithaca College Student Stage (ICSS) during my first semester after pitching a production of The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown to their Executive Board. Following my pitch, I received an official offer letter that allowed me to begin pre-production for the show. In January 2025, we held auditions, cast the production, and launched into rehearsals. After a month-long rehearsal process, we opened the show on February 28th to a sold-out audience.

 

Throughout this experience, I formed invaluable connections and gained hands-on experience that I will carry with me into future theatrical projects at Ithaca College. Directing my first production on campus was not only creatively fulfilling, but also a meaningful milestone in my artistic journey. I’m incredibly grateful to my talented cast and dedicated production team, whose collaboration and passion made this production a reality.
