Where you are from, and when did you move to Charlotte?

I grew up in Hickory, NC and have lived in Charlotte the last 4 years!

Favorite thing about Charlotte?

I love how diverse and innovative our Charlotte community is! Regardless of the industry or different life experiences we encounter, you find most people genuinely want to connect and help others grow! We truly are a melting pot and continue to create waves on a national level.

What motivates you to give back?

I have personal relationships with children and families who have grown up experiencing local Charlotte foster care systems, rehabilitation centers, and mentorship programs. I have seen firsthand the ways in which these programs can change lives and offer opportunities to underserved communities that may have never had a voice or chance otherwise! This is a small way to make a large local impact in our city! I'm so excited to be a part of this journey together!
