When the class of 2009 graduated from college they encountered one of the worst job markets in modern history.

The Daily Tar Heel
For this piece as a member of the investigative team, I went out to Tar Heel Mobile Court off of MLK Jr. Boulevard and interviewed residents about their evacuation plans.

Eagle Scout
Boy Scouts of America
Highest rank attainable; awarded to only 4% of Boy Scouts after years of service and leadership in the organization.
Raised $600+ through GoFundMe to install brick pavers in two dugouts in a community park near my home in Wake Forest, NC. The pavers helped beautify the park and benefitted children that play baseball there including a special-needs baseball league and other low-cost recreational leagues.
