Bio
Working in the Non-Profit sector has been an enlightening experience. From learning how to keep proper accounting books, fundraise, attend political meetings, and most importantly, engage the community in which we serve. We are building a first-of-its kind Memorial in Boston (for MA residents killed post 9/11/2001), and we serve the families left behind. The experience has been incredible!
