One interesting thing about me is…After graduating college, I spent a year interning with St. Joseph Center in Venice Beach, CA, learning about and working with the homeless population of Los Angeles. It was a humbling year, full of growth in my understanding of humanity, and the complex nature of the state of the world. An experience I am so grateful to have had, and work that I hope to continue as I move forward in my adult life.
