I am an alumna of Drake University, where I studied Anthropology, Sociology, and Philosophy. While in school, I held internships at a number of local multicultural non-profits and was fortunate to be able to spend a semester studying around the world, during which time I developed a strong interest in human rights and social justice initiatives. My professional experience includes over twelve years in customer service, and I've recently refocused my career to grant writing and working to help social impact organizations acquire the funding they need to reach their objectives.
