I’ve always believed in the power of community. As a dad of five, I understand the importance of coming together to support one another in an often challenging world. I’ve spent the last four years on and off managing and coordinating volunteers, including during times of crisis and disaster, working alongside state and local agencies. Through these experiences, I’ve helped foster vital relationships between state, NGO, and nonprofit organizations to create lasting impact. Volunteering isn’t just about giving back; it’s also a way to nurture your own mental wellness while making a meaningful difference. As the Community Engagement Coordinator, I’m passionate about making it ridiculously easy for others to get involved. There’s true joy in being hands-on and part of something bigger than yourself, and I’m honored to help create those connections that bring us all closer. Let’s do good, together.
