Volunteer Services:
Upward Bound Program at
the University of Florida:
 I volunteered as a mentor for the Upward
Bound program at the University of Florida (UF) during the fall semester of
2009. As a mentor, I helped to prepare and guide low income students for
placement into college. Each mentor was assigned two mentees that we were
responsible for during the semester. The mentees were required to attend
classes at UF and as mentors we were required to contact our mentees on a
weekly basis to make sure that they were doing well in school. As a mentor, I
also served as a resource for any questions that they may have about classes,
college and even personal life.
Jamaican American Student
Association (JAMSA)
 I am currently the Assistant Secretary for
the Jamaican-American Student Association (JAMSA) from Fall 2009- Spring
2010. JAMSA aims to promote and share the Jamaican culture with those who are
interested by having meetings, socials, community service, forums and
conferences. As the Assistant Secretary, I am responsible for sending
reminders about events, updating the listserv and making the calendar of
events.

 Starting in the Spring of 2010, I will be a
