Born and raised in New Orleans, I have been a runner since joining the JV cross country team in high school. By day, I am a Special Projects Manager, working closely with teams in advertising, creative technology, and the arts. In my free time, I enjoy exploring my neighborhood on long runs, volunteering with Bushwick Ayuda Mutua and scuba diving in Trinidad & Tobago. I chose NAMI-NYC as its focus supporting New Yorkers in an empathetic and accessible way resonates deeply with my belief that mental health services are the key to every individual’s ability to live a happy and healthy life.
