    Owner | Licensed Professional Counselor

    As a new business owner, I am hoping to expand my own network while working with a group of individuals who have a shared vision. While I love the freedom entrepreneurship affords, it can sometimes be lonely! I thrive in an environment where I can build meaningful relationships and I want to be able to do that in a place where I can offer my expertise and time.

    Professionally, understanding how other organizations (outside of my own) fit into the overall social landscape of the Great Akron area would offer much needed growth and perspective. As many would attest, volunteerism feeds the soul. Currently, something I'm missing from my professional and personal life is an organization to pour myself into, which is why joining a Board is an interest of mine.
