Everybody talks about problems like loneliness, lack of community, and lack of good spaces for kids to be kids, off their phones. At Big Brothers Big Sisters I see people doing something about that.

I've been a Big in the community mentorship program for a year now, where I get to see firsthand what BBBS is all about. My Little, Tamara, is the coolest, and is always excited to try something new together. Like me, she loves to get involved in as many activities as possible. Also like me, she sometimes gets stressed out by all the commitments she now has, so lately we've been working on a lot of organizational tips. Luckily I have plenty of experience with that, lol.

As a board member of the Young Professionals Committee I'm so inspired by how many busy young people come together to fundraise, create more awareness around BBBS, and donate their time. Knowing the impact that BBBS has, it feels even more meaningful to volunteer for a group that contributes $100K+ per year to the organization.

I ran the NYC half marathon for BBBS earlier this year, and I'm ready for the challenge of double the distance and more than double the fundraising!

I'm so excited to be running and raising money for an organization that I love so much, and hope you'll consider donating to support!
