We, as a society, need to reinvest in our social services and human infrastructure.
Three words to describe me:
passionate, innovative, dedicated
The best part of my job:
Being able to give back to the community I grew up in and building a program from the ground up
Something that would surprise others about me:
I love to hike and eventually want to hike Machu Picchu.
