September 2024 - March 2025

As Editor-in-Chief of The Torch, I led an award-winning student publication at Lane Community College. After a two-year hiatus, I returned in September 2024 to oversee the restoration of the website and publication with enhanced support. My role included managing a diverse editorial team, guiding content strategy, and ensuring the publication's commitment to high journalistic standards. While there, I also oversaw the revival of our printed newspaper after a five-year hiatus.

January 2022 - Present

I began my journey at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA) in 2021 as part of the events staff, where I supported a range of museum functions and learned the operational side of event management. In 2022, I transitioned into a more focused role through the Leadership Enrichment Internship with the education department. My primary responsibility was helping to coordinate “NewArt Northwest,” a unique art exhibition featuring the work of K-12 students. This experience allowed me to collaborate closely with professional staff, further developing my program coordination and educational outreach skills.
Since completing the internship, I’ve continued to work with the education department, expanding my role to include creating video content to engage young audiences. This has allowed me to combine my creative skills with my passion for education. Additionally, I’ve taken on temporary responsibilities at the front desk, ensuring a welcoming environment for visitors while managing various administrative tasks.

As one of many Black male mentors in Lane County Public Schools, I work to improve young Black men's graduation rates and academic success. Through mentorship, guidance, and advocacy, I strive to create supportive environments where students feel empowered to achieve their full potential.

July 2022 - June 2023

As a Special Projects Assistant (SPA) with Campus and Community Engagement (CaCE), I supported the Division of Equity and Inclusion’s mission to make diversity, equity, and inclusion integral to the University of Oregon. I focused on three key priorities in this role: student success, signature and Cultural Heritage Month programming, and community engagement. I reported directly to the CaCE Program Associate and worked collaboratively to advance these critical initiatives.
