Summary
I am a recent graduate of the University of Minnesota starting out as a young professional working at a local nonprofit called BestPrep. Trying to navigate the professional world, I am looking for volunteer and networking opportunities with other nonprofit professionals in the community. Very driven by a passion to serve the community through education, especially focusing on youth and under-served populations. I would love to become more involved in fundraising and development and I am also very interested in learning more about social entrepreneurship.
