  Game Creation Society

  2004-Present, Pittsburgh, PA

  Game Creation Society (GCS) is a student-run video game development club at Carnegie Mellon University. We create, on average, 7 video games per semester in teams of about 5-7 people (obviously with some exceptions). I have been a member since my freshman year, and have helped create 10 games. I'm currently leading a game project called treesuit (read about it here). I was elected the 2007 "Communications Admin" officer for the club. This means that I'm was charge of maintaining and updating the website, sending weekly emails, and helping make decisions for the club at officer meetings. I also lead tutorials in 3D Studio Max and Photoshop to help spread the knowledge that I acquired as a member of the club.

  CMU Orientation

  Summer 2006 and 2007, Pittsburgh, PA

  Every year Carnegie Mellon has a week-long orientation for the entering freshman class. Over 100 students volunteer two weeks to helping create the best experience possible for the new students. I was an Orientation Counselor (OC) in 2006, and gained responsibility as an Orientation Leader (OL) in 2007. OCs and OLs facilitate all events for the freshmen during orientation week, as well as go through a week-long training prior to the Orientation week. The OLs are responsible for leading the OCs in addition to their group of freshmen. I gained a ton of leadership experience, as well as some great friendships by being an OC and an OL.

  Lunar Gala

  Fall 2006 - Spring 2008, Pittsburgh, PA

  Lunar Gala is an annual fashion show at Carnegie Mellon. Designers from various backgrounds create clothing, dancers perform at intermissions, and models show off the clothing to sold-out crowds of over a thousand people. I auditioned to be a model, and received the position. Although modeling isn't necessarily a philanthropic endeavor (it's harder than it looks!), I took it as an opportunity to boost my self-confidence and expand my social network.
