About Me

I am interested in what young people are doing, whether it's business, non-profit or politics. I moved down to New Orleans as an Americorps volunteer in 2006, and saw the power of young people in shaping the future of the city. For the next few years, I spent time working to connect young people in the city to each other and job opportunities that would keep them in the city. I also traveled around the country speaking at universities about what was happening in New Orleans and why people should continue to help. While working in the non-profit sector, it was easy to identify that government was not doing enough to help citizens return, so I worked with others to launch a mayoral campaign for James Perry, a non-profit executive. I am always asking questions, and I love connecting with other young people who are challenging the status quo. I am using this platform to a shine a light on the people in Generation Y who see a problem, and then are finding unique ways to address it.
