I'm highly passionate about two things: Communication and Theatre. I believe these two fields work in tandem magnificently. Depending on the branch of communications studies, (my focus is on business and organizational communications,) one can comprehend the complex beauty of speech and vocabulary and its relationship with context. By changing one word or the way a word is spoken, the meaning of an entire phrase can shift to something more elegant or more perverse. Even the absence of words could have a profound impact on individuals depending on the context of the conversation! While communications takes a more analytical approach on language, theatre, on the other hand, embraces a more explosive and artistic approach. Theatre is not just limited to acting on a stage. There are directors, producers, costume designers, lighting directors, etc. Theatre requires massive amounts of creativity, energy, and leadership. Every person in a theatre company is required to have an understanding of the text about to be performed. Each individual will have their own interpretation of that text and will collaborate with others to create this brilliant piece of art that is more than the sum of its parts.

I am passionate about connecting with others who want and are willing to make a difference.

I am passionate about working with young adults as they come into awareness of how their skills, values, and interests pair with needs in communities. Technology has made the world smaller and we are capable of do much more at a rapid pace. Our young adults (Millennials and Gen Z) are in inheriting a time of innovation and opportunity. In addition to vast resources and complex systems, they are inheriting problems unsolved from previous generations. How do we want the our communities, country, and the world to look in one, two, three generations? With an already diminishing Boomer and smaller Gen X population, the opportunity to initiate (social, economic, educational, etc.) change is ripe.

Family, the most important thing in the world. Baking, a source of great joy and great for relieving stress. Being part of something bigger than just the day to day stuff.
