      As a Peer Advisor in the advising department through a work-study opportunity, I acted as a liaison between students and advisors. I gained valuable insights into higher education and admissions processes while assisting students with registration and addressing their questions. As Program Director for KUIW Radio, I organized meetings, managed the semester schedule for on-air broadcasts, and ensured all DJ slots were filled. I supported DJs with their needs and handled PR and marketing for the station. Additionally, I hosted campus events to enhance our presence in the UIW community.
