    • Project Transformation Tennessee

      May 2014 - Jul 2014
      Summer Intern

      Project Transformation is a non-profit organization that helps children and their families in underprivileged communities. We provide a summer camp for eight weeks out of the summer for the kids to be in a Christ-centered environment and to help them predominantly with their literacy. When we are not at our camp sites, we learn about what non-profit organizations are doing in our community and how different businesses have implemented ministry into their vocations.

      Oct 2015 - Jun 2020
      Founder and Executive Director

      The Word Wagon is a new program in Middle Tennessee that is focused on providing reading opportunities for children in low-income neighborhoods. We are partnering with One Generation Away with their monthly food distributions to have a reading area for the children to come read with us while their families go through the line to receive food. The children read one-on-one with our Word Wagon volunteers and then are able to take books home with them to grow their own home libraries.
