Volunteer Work
Outside of my professional work, I'm passionate about investing in the next generation. I run the Lead Think Innovation 4-H Club — a youth development program focused on STEM education, leadership, and community service.
Our club operates in Ashland, MA and North Carolina, serving youth aged 8–18 with hands-on programs in technology, innovation, and leadership.

Why I Volunteer
Technology is reshaping every industry, but access to quality STEM education is still not evenly distributed. Through 4-H, I get to bridge that gap — helping kids in my community discover a passion for technology and develop the confidence to pursue it.
The same skills that make a great engineer — curiosity, resilience, creative problem-solving, and the ability to work in teams — are the ones we cultivate in our 4-H members. Watching young people develop those skills is deeply rewarding.
