I always want to understand the ‘why’ of things. In my professional life, this translates to collaborating on research-based approaches and understanding root causes. I am committed to fostering community, cultivating meaningful relationships, and uplifting voices of the disadvantaged. Every day is an opportunity for me to learn, grow, and ask questions.
