I've always been drawn to work that serves my community because I believe meaningful storytelling has the power to make that community stronger. Guided by that belief, I've intentionally built my career with mission-driven organizations that put people before profit.

As a democracy reporter, I was on the ground covering the issues that mattered most to our neighbors, creating stories that informed, empowered, and connected people to their communities.

Today, I bring that same passion to helping connect caring adults with young people who deserve support and opportunity. My purpose always remains the same: using communication to strengthen communities and create meaningful change.
