Summary

My military service as an Army Engineer Officer instilled a passion for building solutions, now channeled into empowering underserved communities through my work at LEAP for Education as the Volunteer & Partnerships Coordinator, building workforce development opportunities and pipelines for over 600 youth.

Currently, I'm pursuing a Master's in Urban Planning and Community Development while continuing to serve in the Massachusetts Army National Guard. I'm dedicated to fostering a more equitable future, whether it's studying sustainable tourism in Costa Rica, supporting local hospitals while activated with the National Guard during the pandemic, or managing programs to support the resettlement of refugees with the Red Cross.
