Community Service

Service has always been a way for me to give back to the very community that has shaped me as a person. My work and volunteer efforts focus primarily on poverty alleviation, homelessness, children and families, seniors, and access to education, food and basic necessities—causes that I believe build stronger, more equitable communities. I’m most drawn to causes that uphold the belief that every individual deserves dignity, respect, and access to opportunity, no matter their circumstances.

I’m proud to support the following organizations through board service, volunteer work and advocacy. Click on any organization’s photo to visit their website and see firsthand the meaningful work they’re leading.

Service has given me so much, and I wanted to help others find the same sense of connection and purpose. To make it easier for others to get involved, I created a directory of nonprofit organizations across New York State—a resource to help connect people with causes they care about and communities that need their support.
