I am a queer graduate of Georgia State University with a degree in English literature. With over a decade of experience in hospitality as a manager and sommelier, I've spent the last few years transitioning back into my initial passion for arts and education. Currently, I serve as a Volunteer Engagement Coordinator at 826 Valencia, a renowned nonprofit in San Francisco dedicated to helping under-resourced school kids access creative writing education and publishing opportunities.My empathy, communication, and multi-tasking skills have helped me build relationships and find success in a wide variety of settings, age groups, and cultural backgrounds. I'm also passionate about service work, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and our natural environment. After working in sales and hospitality, I am transferring my skills to a nonprofit that supports and fosters the community it lies within.
