Professional & Volunteer Affiliations

With over 20 years of dedicated volunteer work, I've had the privilege of serving diverse communities through various impactful programs. My commitment to social causes is exemplified by my involvement with organizations like Free Arts of Arizona, which harnesses the power of creative expression to help children in challenging circumstances and supporting them in domestic violence shelters. I've also contributed to New Song, supporting individuals facing grief and loss. Through Best Buddies, I've worked to foster inclusivity and create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. My efforts with PACH (Phoenix Allies for Community Health) have helped provide resources to uninsured/underserved communities. Additionally, I've lent my time and skills to numerous other programs serving shelters and homelessness. This extensive volunteer experience has not only allowed me to give back but has also deeply informed my professional practice, enhancing my understanding of diverse needs and the transformative power of community support.
