Bio:
I have worked and volunteered in non-profit community organizations in Buffalo, NY, and Binghamton, NY for the last decade. My experience includes after-school program supervision, youth program facilitation, social-emotional learning instruction, youth mentorship, and most recently, community organizing for racial justice and youth justice initiatives. I enjoy seeing my favorite music artists in concert and caring for my rescue dog, Nola!
