    I volunteer much of my free time for organizations I believe in, often in youth sports. I am a coach and Vice President of the Executive Board of the RiverFlow Soccer Club of Rochester, NY. RiverFlow is a community of volunteers dedicated to using soccer as a vehicle for positive change in the City of Rochester, NY and neighboring communities. We are actively involved in bridging racial, cultural, and socio-economic divides by creating a diverse and inclusive community. I was honored to be named the 2022 New York State Youth Soccer Association Volunteer of the Year!
    I also was a founding member, coach and long time President of the Brighton Junior Barons.
    Donating my time and talents to help others is something I strongly believe in and enjoy doing!

    From 2014-2016 I was the Youth Minister at two Catholic churches in Brighton, NY. I successfully revitalized the program, resulting in a 214% increase in participation. Implemented a comprehensive model of Youth Ministry for over 100 youth in grades 6 through 12, including faith formation, team building, development of leadership skills, service projects and community outreach. Also worked to develop new partnerships with those of other faiths, particularly the Islamic and Jewish communities.
