Best Buddies
Carnival Nights
The Best Buddies Carnival Gala was such a joy to help run — from coordinating the flow of the event to making sure every guest went home with a custom Coca-Cola bottle. A night full of fun, inclusion, and celebration!
Broward Friendship Walk
At the Broward Friendship Walk, I helped coordinate guests and worked with amazing vendors like Spirit Airlines, Sephora, and local high school programs. One of the best moments was presenting awards to the top fundraising schools — and cheering on my friend Charlie as he proudly accepted one for his school!
Miami Friendship Walk
At the 2025 Miami Friendship Walk — the largest Best Buddies fundraising walk in the nation — I helped welcome and check in guests, then had the honor of kicking off the walk alongside Best Buddies founder Anthony Shriver and my Teen South Florida’s Teen 2025, Kenley. It was such a joy to welcome Anthony to Miami and celebrate the incredible impact of our chapter!
Holiday Gala
At the Best Buddies Holiday Ball, I joined Miss Florida 2023 Juliette Valle as Miss South Florida Fair. We spent the evening connecting with parents and guardians — and of course, dancing the night away with our incredible buddies!
