President
Students Today Leaders Forever
October 2023 - Present
ColorStack National
I serve as president of Students Today Leaders Forever. We are an optimistic group of students who engage in volunteering opportunities within the campus of UW-Madison, the City of Madison and neighboring towns. As president, I oversee a board of eight people and guide them through their roles as well as support them in the ideas and activities they put forth for the club. I also communicate with outside organizations and other clubs to schedule volunteering or social events to get our members to meet new people and help out in the community.
I am a member of ColorStack National which is a non-profit organization that is intended for Black and Latin X students wanting to go into the field of technology. The organization helps provide students with job/internship opportunities, resume/portfolio review and mock interviews therefore students of color can have the same ample opportunities to break into the growing field of technology.
