In The Community

I am committed to investing in our community, not only professionally, but also in my free time.

After life gave me some firsthand experience, I have a new heart for serving Pittsburgh’s growing families, especially those who have struggled through postpartum or have had a child in the NICU.

  • I was honored to serve as the Chair of Mission and Education for the March of Dimes Pennsylvania‘s Young Professionals Board (2018-2020). 
  • To raise awareness, I was interviewed by Dr. Maria Sambria with CBS/KDKA about the long-term physiological effects of preeclampsia.
  • I joined Angelina Spicer as a panelist during her Postpartum Revolution Road Trip where we discussed maternal mental health, friendship, and the systems that new parents need to thrive.

I am also honored to have been recognized by Steel City Vets for my efforts to meet the mental health needs of our area’s service members and their families. With divorce rates in the military skyrocketing past 80%, there is a clear need for personal and relational support for those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

When our families are healthy, our communities are healthy. Since 2025, I have been serving as a Pittsburgh Chapter Facilitator for Chamber of Mothers. Through non-partisan efforts, Western PA moms are advocating for maternal mental health initiatives, paid leave, and affordable childcare.
