For six years, I've been a proud member and volunteer for the top-rated non-profit Be the Star You Are!® charity. In my freshman year of high school, I stumbled upon the opportunity to be a behind-the-scenes "art coordinator". With the encouragement and enthusiasm of Founder, Executive Director, and Radio Producer, Cynthia Brian, I soon spread my wings to become a reporter on Express Yourself!™ Teen Radio. I quickly sharpened my communicative abilities, giving me the chance to grow from an awkward high school freshman into an open, articulate individual.
