I moved to Akron in July 2023 for my job at Kleidon. I'm looking to find a new organization to dedicate time to. I'm also looking to meet new people and learn more about the area.

I want to lead by example and meet interesting individuals along the way.

I am hoping to give of my time and talent to serve a local non-profit, likely focused on education, women's empowerment, leadership development, holistic wellness [i.e. mental health and basic needs], or social services. I have an academic background in emergency management, higher education administration, strategic communication, and am currently a doctoral student focusing on college student mental health and social support skills.

I believe that nonprofits need strong and committed board members. I have intentionally kept my board service limited to one or two organizations at a time because I want to be an active and attentive board member to those I serve. I bring both nonprofit AND business experience/acumen to the table, which is very uncommon for board members.
I want to serve on the board and what I hope to gain is the same reason to grow my network of professional women while supporting them at the same time.
I would love to connect with more organizations in NE Ohio as I am relatively new to this area and would love the opportunity to further serve this community and network with local changemakers.
I believe that the act of giving enriches both the giver and the community. I am eager to contribute my skills to support an organization whose mission resonates with my passions and values, and to make a meaningful impact in the community.
