A little about me
Before starting my career, I served as a Peace Corps community economic development advisor in the Dominican Republic and an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer. During my service, I frequently noticed community leaders struggling to find the time and resources they needed to tell their stories and build support for their work.
Intent on expanding my toolkit to better support community leaders like the ones I encountered in Peace Corps and AmeriCorps I joined the community leadership program as a Peaceworker Fellow at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
Here, I spent the last two years immersing myself in Baltimore's communities, learning from the leaders that call this place home, and studying what tools are available to help push forward social change.
These experiences strengthened my devotion to community service and dedication to partnering with others in their efforts to build a better life. So if you're interested in partnering with me, don't hesitate to reach out and say hi!
