I hope to continue the acts of giving I participate in today, which is largely rooted in volunteering for the healthcare field through emergency services, health literacy and pediatric care. Most importantly, however, I hope to more mindfully contribute to philanthropy by being aware of the lessons I’ve learnt through my university course and the philanthropy lab, and the philosophies I have developed on my own from them. With a deeper understanding of giving, I hope to implement actionable practices into my professional work over the next few years as a recent new owner of my own 501(c)(3). I also hope to continue to expand my presence in giving through offering more time and skills to areas of need.

Enable millions of youth to forge careers dedicated to social good, creating a widespread movement for social change and involvement. Organizations that expand experiential learning opportunities are present and demonstrate potential for greater scalability and reach.

As a young philanthropist committed to positively impacting the world, I am humbled and excited to join The Philanthropy Lab. The mission of creating a more equitable society aligns with my values and aspirations. I believe in empowering underrepresented communities by providing access to the arts, education, and leadership opportunities, all while fostering a culture of creativity, inclusivity, and social change. As a young philanthropist, I expect to have more questions than answers. The Philanthropy Lab offers a great platform to learn, exchange ideas, and work collaboratively to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges, while staying grounded in my mission to inspire positive change through compassion, creativity, and collective action.
