I'm grateful to be able to work at my dream job every day, and a goal of mine is to give students of all socioeconomic backgrounds the opportunity to have careers they're excited about as well.

Since September 2018, I have been working with our parent company, Publicis Sapient, to "adopt" a local elementary school, Dresden Elementary. I am working with the Dekalb County school district to build an ongoing partnership to benefit both the students of this school and their parents. As part of this partnership, I designed and pitched a staged partnership plan to Publicis Sapient leadership first, to get a budget, and second to the school's leadership before getting started planning and executing events. The partnership plan is designed to engage and inspire the students with technology, creativity, and the intersection of the two, by holding different design- and technology-oriented activity sessions, as well as more broad STEAM-themed events throughout the school year. At the same time, we plan to empower the parents to use the resources provided to them by the school to help their kids, by teaching basic computer skills classes and English language classes.
