I moved 6 times before I turned the age of 18. I've lived in the west, the east, the midwest, and the south. You would think all of those transitions would be traumatizing, but instead I found new friends, new communities,  new ways to engage, new problems to solve, and new approaches along the way. This 'perpetual new kid' mentality has served me well in my career, in my personal life, and in my volunteer work. 

 

I believe in creating a supportive and inclusive environment. With a passion for learning and exploring new cultures, I understand the importance of unique perspectives and diverse experiences. Throughout my travels and experiences building communities, I have found a way to be myself in multiple contexts, and I use this approach to advocate and bring people together. I enjoy tackling complex problems, collaborating with others, and finding effective solutions to help everyone succeed.
