• What inspires you?
    • On a professional sense, I genuinely enjoy the work that I get to do with CCNY. As someone who comes from a more clinical background, the contributions we make to systems change is awe-inspiring.
  • Why are you in nonprofit work?
    • I never make a point to look for work in the nonprofit sector. I knew the type of work I wanted to do on a day-to-day basis, and I wanted an agency that shared my values; luckily, the result always ends up being nonprofit work.
  • Why is CCNY’s mission important to you?
    • As someone who worked in counseling, trying to tackle systemic challenges seems like a daunting and impossible task. CCNY contributes to the changes that I want to see on a more societal level, and does so with an incredible team of solution-focused thinkers.
  • Who is a hero of yours?
    • Most of the women in my life. My grandma taught me resiliency, my mom taught me self-respect, my sisters taught me self-love, my friend Kara taught me to just go for it, and my coworkers here at CCNY taught me how to value my work.

  • What do you like to do in your spare time?
    • I have recently started learning how to bake, and how to create my favorite desserts. I particularly enjoy sugar work and French pastries. 
  • What’s something quirky about you?
    • I’m a nihilist who enjoys tea time and floral wallpapers.
  • What’s in your coffee?
    • All of my hopes and dreams and a splash of non-alcoholic Irish cream.
  • I will never be seen without…
    • My beard.
