Before this, I was a college and career counselor at a school in Nashville, TN, primarily working with low-income non-citizen students.

At the weekend: I’m usually at a park or cycling if the weather is nice, bouldering indoors if the weather is not, or tagging along for activities with my friends.

An idea that powers me: The campground stewardship rule: “Try to leave it better than you found it” – I want to help shape a more equitable world where making sustainable, healthy, and civically-minded decisions are feasible, accessible, and convenient. And I want to empower and assist people who really care about the world and its inhabitants make a positive impact (however large and however small) in their communities.
