After graduating from California Baptist University with a BA in Political Science and International Studies, she served two years as an AmeriCorps member with City Year, an education nonprofit organization. Her first year was dedicated to working directly with students in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and her second year brought her to New England as she fostered civic engagement in community spaces through physical service.
