About Me
I’m a twenty-something born and raised in Maryland now living and working in DC as a management consultant. I currently serve on the board of the Cultural Academy for Excellence (CAFE), a youth arts-in-education program based out of Prince George's County, and work as a hotline counselor and advocate for the DC Rape Crisis Center. I’m one of those naïve millenials you hear about who believes she can change the world (...crazy girl!).
I’m an avid reader, an excessive tweeter, a lover of pink and a closeted introvert. I giggle at corny jokes. I’m full of suppressed wanderlust and have always had a desire to spend forever in school learning various subjects, one after the other. I love connecting people and sharing information. Most significantly, I’m at a crossroads in my life that’s both intimidating and exhilarating.
Like so many other twenty-somethings out there, I spend a lot of time thinking about my career path. I have lots of questions to which the answers, of course, remain elusive. I can tell you what I know, though: I enjoy my current job, I’m passionate about issues that affect young women and girls, and I am committed to working for change in my community.
It only took about a quarter century for me to make those discoveries. Let’s see what the next quarter century has in store for me.
About this blog
My love for social media started freshman year in college when my roommate made me sign up for Facebook and we stayed up all night checking out people’s profiles. Since then I have spent most of my time online writing via my personal blog, sharing inspiration and excessively tweeting my random thoughts to the world. This blog, however, is different from anything else I’ve ever done. As a result, it will surely be a work in progress.
With this blog I will chronicle my own journey toward aligning my skillset, interests and passions to affect change. In doing so, I seek to also provide engaging and insightful posts on various topics related to professional development, social media, non-profits, philanthropy, social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility and more.
I believe that there is always something that anyone can do from anywhere to affect change. It doesn’t matter what sector you work in, what your skillsets are or where your passions lie. I hope that this blog will resonate with the "choir" as well as help others see that if you are committed to working toward a greater good then it’s always the right time to make a difference and there is always a way.
