I am so excited to be the Youth Programs Program Coordinator at SPCE! I have worked with youth since early high school, and have known since then that I wanted to do youth work for my career. After getting my bachelor's at JMU, I worked for 2 non-profits whose main focuses were youth programming. I am dedicated to making youth feel affirmed and comfortable to be themselves.
I am also very passionate and knowledgable about the LGBTQ+ community! I am so grateful to have been in different leadership roles within multiple LGBTQ+ organizations throughout the years. In my free time, you will find me eating sweet treats, petting animals, taking a cozy nap, or admiring stained glass art pieces!
I have a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Liberal Studies with a minor in Elementary Education, from James Madison University.
