My Interests

As long as I can remember, I have been deeply interested in social impact and helping create a more equitable world for us to live in. I believe that it is important that young people actively participate in society, whether that is with nonprofits, through politics, activism, or any other method. I believe that the well-being of our world is entirely our responsibility.

I have always been fascinated by the role that business and social enterprises play in addressing and working towards solutions to deep rooted problems in our world.

I am currently working on a second project, a social enterprise that empowers artisan communities across the globe.

In my free time, I love to spend time with friends and family, and find new shows to watch!

My Initiatives

Project Involve connects the world's most passionate young students with the world's most deserving non-profits.

Involve allows a user to read the daily news in summary based on the amount of time they have, whether that be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or more. Today’s youth wants to be able to directly help tackle the problems the news is about. That's exactly what Involve does. For this reason, Involve connects each article that the student reads to a partnered NGO that relates to the category (e.g. Health, Education, Arts). You click on the Help Now button and you get connected with a relevant nonprofit who you can help right away. We are partnered with almost 30 NGOs and are continuing to expand!

Students can also choose to not read the news and can go straight to the “How Can I Help” page on the app. By doing so, they can access all the opportunities of the organizations that Involve is partnered with.

This will make opportunities and overall involvement in civil society much more accessible to all types of students, making us a bigger asset to society.

My Impact

I am so grateful for all the positive feedback Project Involve has received. It is very exciting to see it impact more people by the day and I look forward to it growing. It currently hosts almost 30 NGOs and has reached over 5,350 users with 300,517 total hits. Project Involve has users in over 60 countries including the United States, Canada, India, Germany, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Portugal, Japan, Denmark, South Africa, and Iceland.
