I coordinated and lead a panel of 6 current JMU transfer students to visit BRCC campus at the request of BRCC professor and CS Transfer Degree Program Coordinator, Dan OBrien. We fielded questions from BRCC students about a wide range of topics, namely curricula, admission requirements for the major, housing, and of course, food. Before the panel, I collaborated with Professor O'Brien to ensure I scouted students whose foci/niches reflected the common interests of his students or who participated in specific activities/opportunities in the department.

CHOICES are 'open house' events hosted on JMU campus for newly admitted prospective students. As a JMU CS Ambassador, I give group tours of the CS department, speak on panels, and field questions from individual students and their families while tabling at CHOICES. In addition, the ambassador team plays a role in planning/organizing for these events.

Volunteered for Dr. Michael Lam's "Fractal Art with Python" field trip actviity for a local middle school. We used boilerplate Python turtle graphics code to walk students through activities introducing core CS concepts, culminating with recursion and using it to have our turtles draw fractals. By the end of the activity, students had created art of their own by modifying the provided algorithms or starting new functions from scratch, and were able to take their creations home.

Acted as a JMU student ambassador at an event at Blue Ridge Community College celebrating National Transfer Student Week and BRCC's Hunger Awareness Week. Fielded questions about life at JMU as a transfer student while scooping ice cream for attendees.

Bridges to Computing is an annual week-long program hosted by JMU’s CS and IT programs designed to introduce and engage local refugee students in computer science. I served as a teaching assistant for a track aimed at teaching web development with virtual reality headset integration. Students in our track worked to create personal webpages and a 3D VR playground with imported assets, leading up to students creating their own VR museums.

Assisted in delivering a presentation to first-year CS and IT majors covering topics such as tech-adjacent clubs, research & career advancement opportunities, and how to prioritize wellbeing during stressful times of the semester.

During Academic Open House events, prospective students (not necessarily admitted) and their families visit JMU campus to learn about specific departments and major offerings. Student ambassadors like myself field questions about our respective majors while presenting on panels, giving tours, tabling, and more.
