Since I can remember, I've wanted to help others. My involvement has looked different over the years, from spending time after school with folks in a local retirement community to running 5Ks to raise money for breast cancer care. In recent years, I've turned to donating my time and talents to help local non-profit organizations with their marketing efforts. When I first moved to Virginia a few years ago, I looked for an opportunity to give back and found Aaliyah in Action, whose Founder needed help with a website redesign project. Fast forward three years, and I'm still maintaining the website, while also providing support to an organization that I've seen firsthand make a difference to a parent experiencing baby loss.

In early 2024, I was looking for more connection to the community I'd spent almost 3 years in. At a neighbor's party, I met the Assistant Governor for my areas' Rotary Clubs, and she encouraged me to attend the next meeting. I was thrilled to become a member of my local club, and within a few months was asked to serve on the Board as the Public Image Chair. My involvement with Rotary truly sparks a desire within me to do better. Whether that's locally with a Diapers and Wipes Drive for a local food bank or globally through raising funds to fight Polio, I know that positive change comes from taking action and working together towards a better world for everyone.
