I provided community support during Jefferson Pharmacy’s vaccination clinics in Fluvanna County (Virginia). This included helping folks with their intake paperwork, providing aftercare support and resources, and being a liaison between medical and volunteer staff.

I helped the Vice Mayor and the head of the Arts + Culture Committee with messaging and communications, ranging from social media copy to grant writing. I also helped draft the grant proposal for the Bama Works Fund Grant, which the town was awarded in June 2018.

When devastating floods hit Central Texas over Memorial Day Weekend 2015, I joined a search and rescue team searching for survivors along the Blanco. While searching, I found countless personal artifacts, including a woman’s purse, passport, and slides of an infant’s first steps. I made it my mission to return such treasures to the folks who lost everything. I also worked with an area chef to deliver hot meals to search and rescue teams. After the cleanup, I helped a woman who lost three loved ones in the floods commemorate a mother and her children in a book, which was published in 2017.

I helped curate, fundraise, and deliver everyday items that cancer patients requested while undergoing treatment.

I mentored an elementary student who had an incarcerated parent, meeting with her weekly at her school to provide guidance, support, and companionship while her parent was still incarcerated.

While editing Austin Lifestyle Magazine, we partnered with local organizations to raise more than $3,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation over the course of two years.
