Community & Causes
My guiding principles are rooted in KINDNESS, COMMUNITY, and EMPOWERMENT. In terms of community, it has always been essential for me to foster inclusivity, where everyone feels safe and welcomed to share opinions and knowledge. Your support means the world to me, and through your generosity, I am able to make charitable donations. Below are some resources and organizations I support. While there are many more out there, this is a meaningful start.

Helping Families Handle Cancer
Helping Families Handle Cancer was founded by a childhood cancer survivor that was compelled to start a grassroots not-for-profit organization. Last year, Helping Families distributed $275,000 to 1,211 families, allowing them to focus on their child in crisis by covering costs like hospital parking, travel, fuel, groceries, utilities, rent, funeral expenses, and ambulance bills.
