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, and continued through the spring. 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. Working as an Admission Host in the Ithaca College Office of Admission has helped me grow significantly in both confidence and communication skills. Giving campus tours has taught me how to speak clearly and authentically with a wide variety of people while representing the college in a welcoming and professional way. Through this role, I have learned how important it is to create a positive and inclusive environment for prospective students and their families, especially during such an important decision-making process. Being a tour guide has also strengthened my leadership abilities by teaching me how to adapt to different groups, answer unexpected questions, and connect with people through storytelling and personal experience.
I have also been promoted to be an office co-chair, beginning in the Fall Semester!
Premium Blend
Ithaca College's Only
Female-Aligned Accapella Group
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.
Throughout the Spring 2026 semester, I helped coordinate and facilitate photoshoots, promote events, and manage communication efforts that supported the group’s outreach and visibility on campus. This position taught me how to balance creativity with collaboration, while also strengthening my ability to work with a team in fast-paced environments. Through this experience, I gained more confidence in leadership and event coordination, which has prepared me to transition into the Vice President role next semester. Moving into this new position will allow me to take on greater responsibility in guiding the organization and supporting both its members and future initiatives.
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.
SPRING 2026 Directing a production of Next to Normal with the Ithaca College Performing Arts Collective was one of the most meaningful and transformative leadership experiences I had this semester. Throughout the rehearsal and production process, I developed stronger skills in communication, collaboration, organization, and problem-solving while leading a cast and creative team through an emotionally demanding show. As the director, I was responsible not only for shaping the artistic vision of the production, but also for creating a rehearsal environment where performers and designers felt supported, respected, and comfortable contributing their ideas. Because the musical explores sensitive topics such as mental illness, grief, trauma, and family dynamics, this experience taught me how important emotional awareness and empathy are within leadership. I learned how to facilitate difficult conversations in a thoughtful and respectful way, check in with cast members during emotionally intense rehearsals, and encourage open communication throughout the creative process. Navigating these conversations helped me better understand the responsibility directors have in maintaining a safe and collaborative rehearsal environment, especially when working with vulnerable material. This experience also strengthened my confidence as a leader by teaching me how to make decisions under pressure, manage collaboration between different members of the production team, and adapt when challenges arose throughout the rehearsal process. Directing Next to Normal ultimately helped me grow both personally and professionally by showing me that effective leadership requires not only artistic vision, but also patience, emotional intelligence, and the ability to support and guide others through challenging work.
IC Second Stage
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.
