Showing up in person
In a previous workplace Volunteer Champion role, I helped with events connected to St. Jude, Habitat for Humanity, Alzheimer’s and MS walks, and dog adoption efforts.

What I build
should give back.
My work is bigger than a résumé. Service, advocacy, and community belong in the same conversation as strategy and leadership.
01 / MS advocacy
I advocate because
I live it.
I live with multiple sclerosis. For eight years, I’ve learned how much of a person’s experience can stay invisible to everyone else. That is one reason I speak about MS in my own voice: so the conversation can make room for what people cannot always see.
Advocacy, to me, includes honest storytelling, asking for accessibility, making space for people to adapt, and supporting a future with better understanding, care, and research. I am still learning, still adjusting, and still building a life that is mine.
Striding with NatitudeMy theme for Walk MS 2025 in Baton Rouge, where I brought my story and creative energy to the walk.
02 / Showing up
Service takes many forms.
Volunteerism has given me a practical way to turn care into action, whether the work calls for hands, planning, creative support, or bringing more people to a cause.
Helping resources move
I have helped raise money and secure workplace donations for causes. I value the organizing behind that work as much as the public moment: asking, coordinating, and following through.
Making a cause visible
“Striding with Natitude” gave my Walk MS participation a name and a visual identity. The message matters when it helps another person recognize themselves in the cause.
03 / What comes next
More than a moment.
A way of moving.
I want to keep making room for people living with invisible illness and for communities whose needs are too often treated as an afterthought. That can look like volunteering, sharing my story, supporting a campaign, or using my skills to help a good idea become something people can use.
