Dedicated to the advancement of all in the nonprofit sector, I intend to elevate Central Virginia Academy for Nonprofit Excellence’s brand and will continue to promote the incredible class offerings CVANE provides.

Continuing to elevate the nonprofit brand through collaborations with sustainable partnerships. Maintain Pierce Street Community Garden’s social media channels and provide applicable updates to the neighborhood. Assist with grant support and provide talent in areas related to development.

As a member of Pierce Street Gateway board and garden committee, I support the sustainability of Pierce Street Community Garden. Pierce Street Community Garden is the outcome of a collaboration between Leadership Lynchburg's class 45, Team Big Hearts, and the Pierce Street Gateway. Functioning to lessen food insecurity in the historic Pierce Street Renaissance District and beyond, the garden produces crops that are tolerant for each of the year's seasons and provides the produce grown at no cost to the immediate community. The Garden Committee hosts volunteers every Saturday morning from April to October, incorporating education into the sessions, teaching the importance of sustainable agriculture through economical gardening practices, leadership development through the selfless act of volunteering, and community engagement that allows for social growth and networking opportunities. Members of the community are welcome to attend the sessions to learn more about basic gardening practices and are always welcome to harvest the food they may need.

By using the latest social media marketing tools, I curate content that sustains and uplifts the MNPL’s brand across multiple social media platforms.
