Volunteering in and advocating for my community has always been important to me.

Growing up as a Girl Scout, I earned my Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards through various community service projects. I served as our Service Unit's first Diversity Coordinator and am still a lifetime member of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. I also spent hundreds of hours as a volunteer at the University Medical Center at Princeton, and represented the hospital's volunteer program as part of Princeton High School's Service Learning program.
‍
At NYU, I led the Community Service Committee of Beta Alpha Psi. I organized weekly volunteer events with non-profits, including Housing Works, Special Olympics and Yorkville Common Pantry, for hundreds of candidates and members to participate. I also led our chapter's fundraising efforts for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life event, raising tens of thousands of dollars a year for cancer research.

As a young professional in San Francisco, I volunteered with iMentor and organized regular team volunteer events with local groups like SF-Marin Food Bank and Family Dog Rescue. While at Atlassian, I also led local grant-making for education initiatives, resulting in partnerships between the San Francisco office and 3 Bay Area non-profits: Reading Partners, Oakland Literacy Coalition, and Mission Graduates. In addition, on behalf of the Atlassian Foundation, I managed international partnerships with two global non-profits: Teach for All & Rumie.

Organizations and movements that I support and have recently donated to include: Colorado Freedom Fund, People's Action Collective, and Black Lives Matter.
