About Me
I am passionate about empowering students and supporting organizations through leadership development, workforce preparation, and educational initiatives. My career journey—from Server to Career Camp Counselor to Education Coordinator—has given me a unique perspective on education, program development, and community engagement.
​
I thrive in diverse situations that push me out of my comfort zone, continually learning and growing along the way. My professional “why” is simple: to help every learner I encounter make a positive impact on their communities and the world through service, leadership, and engagement.
