I'm originally from Cleveland, Ohio -- born in Toronto, Canada -- and now I currently live in Jacksonville, Florida. I attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio and graduated in 2016, earning my degree in Organizational Communication & Public Advocacy. I spent a year after college serving 1700 hours as an Americorps Volunteer working as a mentor and tutor to middle school students in a Title I school in Jacksonville, Florida. I am passionate about public service, music, traveling and meeting people!

This summer I am biking across the United States with two other friends from South Carolina to California and raising money for Feeding America, check out our trip here: www.miles4meals.org

Evan & Tony are the two other cyclists -- I'm also requesting on their behalf! In 2014, the three of us kayaked down the entire length of the Mississippi River together. Evan & Tony both graduated from the University of Akron with degrees in engineering in 2017.
