In Key Club I have participated in a variety of projects, such as the Keep Warm Project, and Pasta for Pennies.

I have been involved in Brainchild for two years, and at this moment I am tutoring a student in the sixth grade in mathematics. I tutor him every Monday from 4pm to 5pm. I serve as the secretary for Brainchild, which requires me to participate in all events and other duties that I need to fulfill.
