Where are you from?

I am orginially from Oklahoma City, but I moved to Jacksonville, Florida when I was 10.

Why did you decide to join NHC?

Growing up, I would often read philosphy books or listen to podcasts, and these philosophy books and podcasts would often encourage me to question my reality, myself, and the world.  Over time, this questioning fueled my passion for helping others.

What are you hoping to gain or learn during your service term?

It's simple - I would like to learn how to help my community!  I also would like to learn how to work with others.

What are you most looking forward to during your service term?

I'm looking forward to being in such a great program!  I am also excited for what's new.
