I have a background in fine arts and education, but began in Human Services not long after college as an assistant at the CEO Food Pantry. Working to fight against food insecurity and support my communities needs put me on a path within CEO. I found a passion for Community Action and grew my career through various positions at CEO including administrative supports, direct customer service, mobilization of interns and volunteers, program design, and eventually program management. Over the years I have seen the impact of Community Action and the importance of supporting and uplifting individuals and familiers through resources, kindess, and respect. I look forward to continuing my professional development and growth in my current position as Director of Community Services, espeically through the development of partnerships and collaboration like the Nourish NY Dream Team.
