Meet The Board
The VU Baltimore Board is volunteer run and we work together to improve volunteerism in Baltimore.

Occupation: Senior Contracts Specialist at the American Institutes of Research. Outside of work, I love to travel, i’m always down for a concert, I aim to read 50+ books every year, and baseball season is my absolute favorite season. My favorite VU event is the Lego event with FIRST Lego League, which is held annually in the fall at Checkerspot Brewery in Baltimore City (their beer is delicious!).

My favorite VU events are the ones where we get to do some sort of weird physical labor that's unusual for city living, like demolishing a wall or removing invasive species while wearing waders in the harbor.
Occupation: Digital Marketing Manager at the International Dyslexia Association, a nonprofit organization working to create a future where everyone can read by providing advocacy, resources, and services. Outside of work, I spend time volunteering, reading, and cuddling with my rescue dog. My favorite VU event is blanket-making for Kennedy Krieger Institute because it's a fun, inclusive event that benefits a great organization.
