I am a proud Philadelphian (Go BIRDS!) who has dedicated over 16 years to supporting youth, caregivers, and communities. My passion for service stems from a deep commitment to leaving every space better than I found it. As a strong advocate for personal growth and community development, I believe in the power of mentorship and meaningful connections to create lasting change which would open doors for building a successful life.

I am a firm believer in the impact of youth development, as I can attribute much of my own success to the guidance, mentorship, and support I’ve received from mentors who helped steer me away from at-risk behaviors. I am dedicated to this line of work, and it has led me to Friends of the Children—Philadelphia! I am excited to be a Friend and I will continue to be an agent of change, empowering youth and families to overcome challenges and reach their fullest potential.
