I am a Columbus, Indiana native and it was in this small town where I got my first job at a small farmers market, where I became involved in BMX, and discovered my passion for giving through volunteering at the local animal shelter. Working with animals and nature have been passions of mine ever since I was a teenager, and these passions are rooted in the words my grandma said as I was growing up. She would always say give a voice to the voiceless, and these words have echoed throughout my entire life, and helped me find my place in the Philanthropic Studies program at the IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at IUPUI. As my time as an undergrad is coming to a close I have started to truly reflect on what is to come. I have already started my graduate academic career also through the Lilly Family School
