Volunteer
In my free time, I give back to my community in a number of ways.
ATD (Association for Talent Development Dallas Chapter
In 2021, I co-chaired the Southwest Learning Summit hosted by ATD Dallas. SWLS is a learning conference based in the Dallas area, serving 300+ attendees, run by a team of volunteers in the L&D industry. I also had the privilege of emceeing the day of the event.

Participate in a variety of fundraising and educational events as a way to help eradicate Alzheimer's and support local and national charities, assisting patients and caregivers and the like. Culminating in our flagship event — a powder-puff football game. Yes, I will be playing (defense, ICYWW). Go Team Pink!

Dallas Junior Chamber of Commerce (DJCC)
Through networking, philanthropy and signature events, the DJCC makes a powerful impact on the community. As a member, I network with other young professionals, volunteer at events and help fundraise for many charities. I'm on the "Buzz team," the communication committee, promoting the DJCC via social media, media outlets and more. I also help plan and run professional development workshops.

#ispeakSpanish Meetup
I get together with this Meetup group about once a month to practice speaking Spanish among other native speakers. It's a welcoming community to share stories of our varying backgrounds in a social environment while speaking a foreign language. I've even learned how to dance the Bachata!

Dallas Sport and Social Sand Volleyball
I'm no Kerri Walsh Jennings, but I love friendly competition, sand between my toes and a good spike (when it happens). Playing sand volleyball in Dallas, I've gained valuable leadership and team building skills and made lifelong friends, not to mention, burned countless calories. Heck yeah for that!

Big Brothers Big Sisters
I mentored a young girl every week for nearly two years as my Little Sister, offering her life experiences that she couldn't normally gain in her every day life. We ventured to the movies, the mall, the zoo, carved pumpkins, read books and even met a few Dallas Stars players!
