One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to help start a nonprofit in college.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have had some pretty interesting experiences with a rural community development non-profit I helped start a couple years ago and continue to work with. I was also very fortunate to have received a Truman Scholarship in 2014 and have benefited from the shared insight of some incredible people in the U.S. public service world.
