Giving back to my community keeps me active, engaged, and provides an opportunity to show my appreciation for all of the amazing gifts and opportunities I have been provided in this life.

I am proud to have served as a board member of the Westfield Education Foundation.
The Westfield Education Foundation is a 501c(3) not-for-profit entity created in 1986 to serve as a philanthropic resource to provide scholarships to Westfield seniors and to provide grants to Westfield teachers.

The TechPoint Foundation for Youth is committed to inspiring our state’s underserved K-12 students to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). As a member of the Program Committee, I worked on a committee for Enabling STEM Grants to underserved populations, the State Robotics tournament, and more.

Timmy Global Health is an international non-profit organization with headquarters based in Indianapolis. Timmy Global Health expands access to healthcare and empowers students and volunteers to tackle today’s most pressing global health challenges.
