Philanthropy
I've always liked the quote, "We die two deaths. One when our body dies and one another when we are no longer remembered." When I die, I want to be remembered as someone who loved my friends, family, and pets deeply, and that I did everything I could to make the world a better place with my actions. That extends into the workplace with the tools that I build to help others.
A few of the causes that I believe in:
- LGBTQ+ rights and equality
- Climate change, reducing our footprints, and replanting forests
- Helping the impovershed and less fortunate
- Animal sanctuaries
- Disaster relief
- Cancer research
Donations
Locks of Love
When the Covid pandemic happened, I wanted to take advantage of the full-remote work so I decided to grow out my hair to donate to Locks of Love. Cancer has run in my family and I have family members who actively have cancer. My heart goes out to those affected by cancer directly or indirectly.
Fundraising
Girls Who Code
At the end of 2020, I initiated a fundraiser that raised over $6,000 for Girls Who Code.
Save The Family
In 2020, I initiated a fundraiser that raised $500 for Save The Family through a music competition.
