In addition, she serves as a Board member for the Sand Mountain Cooperative Education Center—a Nunnian organization building worker ownership in Alabama through popular education—and contributes to their fundraising cooperative (Glow and Grow) as well as their summer program in Birmingham (Lamplight). She is a former member of CBTA ('20) and factotum for TASS-AOS ('23), as well as the recipient of the 2022 Dunham Award. Within TA, she has worked on Inter-Nunnian relationships, summer programs, and looks forward to returning to MBC for another year! In her free time, she enjoys extravagantly long walks, reading, and connecting with loved ones—be it in the hills or across the ocean.
