My deep commitment to expanding National Service began during his fulltime year of service with City Year (‘02-‘03), a leading AmeriCorps program. As an AmeriCorps alumnus, I has been an advocate for expansion by meeting with congressional offices and speaking at events organized by Voices for National Service. I have worked as a part-time Program Assistant for New Leaders for New Schools, a nationally renowned organization that prepares outstanding urban school principals. At George Washington University, I served as a founding member on Service-Learning Advisory Board to create a university Service-Learning department. I graduated in 2007 from GWU with a bachelor’s degree in English, dually focusing on literature and writing. I love to hear feedback and ideas about the website and blog - drop me a line anytime!
