This weekend, I volunteered at the Austin Film Festival. I helped with registration and conference events at the Driskill Hotel. My main responsibilities included greeting and accommodating guests, crowd control, and monitoring various panels. I really enjoyed my time at the festival and would love to volunteer next year!

I volunteered at the DSACT Speech Program at Speak Freely where I was able to help children with down syndrome participate in games to develop their speech skills. I helped set up activities for the kids and took pictures of the event.

I helped move and unload lab materials in Welch for Dr. Kate Biberdorf. I also helped organize the materials once they had been unloaded in the new office.
Last Saturday, I attended the Best Buddies walk at Zilker Park. While there, I helped make sure that the buddies had other students to participate in the walk with. I also helped set up the event along with other volunteers. I appreciated getting to see all the students and their buddies enjoy the walk.
As a part of Introduce a Girl to Engineering, I helped set up demos for Dr. Kate Biberdorf's presentation. I also assisted in making ice cream for the kids using liquid nitrogen. I enjoyed watching how much the girls and their parents interacted throughout the each show. After the presentations, I helped dispose of trash and cleaned lab materials.
Today, I attended a Best Buddies service event for the first time as an associate member. I helped put together hygiene bags for the homeless and made blankets for local animal shelters. I also got the chance to spend time with some of the buddies. I look forward to attending future events with Best Buddies.
