Relevant volunteer or advocacy work

I founded and am the branch ambassador for Palm Beach's Hike it Baby, which facilitates getting parents of infants and young children out in nature together with other families. I am also an active member of Junior League of the Palm Beaches, a community-strengthening women's organization, and a volunteer fundraiser for the Dressember Foundation, which provides dignity and support for those fleeing human trafficking. Additionally, I offer my doula services on a sliding scale to those who aged out of the foster care system or currently are in foster care, as well as to pregnant mothers who are in recovery for substance abuse.
