I created the first Liberty Hill Chamber of Commerce, Liberty Hill Student Health Advisory Council, Liberty Hill Christmas Festival and the Body and Soul Ministry Facebook pages. I also designed and help maintain the Operation Liberty Hill website and Facebook page. I enjoy supporting these organizations and donating my time to help them advertise and market their events and programs.

I created the first Health and Wellness Committee and the Educational Progress Report Committee, for the Liberty Hill Chamber as well. I served as a liaison between the community, businesses and the school district, specifically regarding health and wellness issues. I helped get an office donated to house the Chamber with the help of the Liberty Hill Lion's Club which was officially recognized by Commissioner Long. I coordinated to two 5K runs and two biggest loser weight loss programs for Fellowship Church in Liberty Hill. I also helped coordinate the first two Liberty Fit Health, Wellness and Safety Festival with the Liberty Hill School District. I currently serve on Dr. Steven Snell, LHISD Superintendent’’s Advisory Board.

Here are some pictures from some of my volunteer work.
