As a community-focused professional with a BA in Communications from Penn State, I bring a diverse background that combines recreation, education, and effective communication to foster impactful programs and meaningful connections. Currently working as a Recreation Outreach Worker with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation, I’m passionate about promoting community development through sports, teamwork, and resilient leadership.My work emphasizes empowering individuals through creative engagement and structured recreational activities, especially within youth programs. With several years of experience organizing basketball leagues, planning community events, and supervising youth activities, I am committed to using sports as a tool for teaching life skills and fostering a supportive community environment. My roles have taught me the value of clear communication, resilience, and empathy—qualities that I believe are crucial to effective leadership and creative problem-solving.I'm enthusiastic about connecting with like-minded professionals who are passionate about community development, creative expression, and building stronger, more resilient communities through recreational and educational initiatives. Let’s connect!
