VOLUNTEER WORK
PROVIDING A HELPING HAND
A passion for service.
Dedicating time to the service of my community is a deeply ingrained and persistent value. I was raised in a profoundly service-oriented family with parents who worked in the nonprofit and public education sectors for most of my life. In college, service learning was a key component of my education. I have spent many years volunteering in various capacities, and the opportunity to pursue my passion for service is something I cherish.
