I am excited to be working for the Microenterprise Project at VOLS as an AmeriCorps VISTA. As a VISTA, I will be working in a capacity building position to help small business owners and micro-entrepreneurs obtain pro bono legal service.

Before joining AmeriCorps and VOLS, I received my BA in Sociology and History degree from SUNY Potsdam. It was there that I discovered my passion to help and serve disadvantaged and underprivileged individuals and communities.

I look forward to meeting and working with our clients and partners, including volunteer law firms and community organizations. I am thankful for this opportunity to transition into the non-profit sector and to start my career advocating and providing resources to those who need them. I’m so happy to be joining such a wonderful team at VOLS.
