Causes I’m most passionate about: Youth development, access to quality education, mental health awareness and access, nutrition and food security, climate change and environmental justice

My fundraising story: My fundraising journey began with a passion for service—first as a volunteer at food banks and local community events and later as a volunteer firefighter, where I saw firsthand how strong communities are built through collective effort. That commitment deepened when I became a Development Coordinator at Keep America Beautiful, an organization that inspired my belief in a country where every community is clean, green, and beautiful. There, I learned the power of mission-driven fundraising to drive tangible impact. I later honed my skills as a prospect researcher in higher education, where I combined strategy and storytelling to connect donors with meaningful opportunities for change.

Why I care about helping nonprofits grow: I care about helping nonprofits grow because I believe in the power of mission-driven work to create lasting, positive change. Supporting their growth means amplifying impact, strengthening communities, and turning vision into action.
