She has a strong commitment to serving the communities around her and strongly believes that everyone who needs support should have access to it. She has experience in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors through her university’s co-op program, summer internships, and school organizations. While at university, she was on the executive board of a pro bono consulting and research not-for-profit organization. She was on the university equestrian team and enjoys staying active through running, hiking, and practicing yoga.
