After separating from the military, I went back to school to pursue a new path in life and higher education. Halfway through my college experience, I crossed paths with AmeriCorps and the world of volunteering and nonprofits. I was hooked!

The experience in AmeriCorps altered my perspective. It allowed me to envision a life where I could be of service and align myself with service-driven organizations for a career. Since then, I have worked in direct client services with veterans and communications and marketing efforts in the nonprofit space.

While I enjoy the work, boundaries are important, and I put just as much value in pursuing personal interests. When not at the virtual office, my interests lie in world travel, home cooking, salsa dancing, gaming, and the occasional DIY home project that hopefully won't lead to thousands of dollars in property damage.
