What ignited your pursuit for gender equality?
Strong female role models in my family and friends ignited my desire to make a positive change toward reaching gender equality. I feel a sense of injustice about the struggles women face globally to feel safe and access basic services.
Please share your biggest wins as an advocate for gender equality.
Through volunteering for the USA Girl Scouts Overseas in Paris, we are shaping the young leaders of tomorrow. Being able to empower and equip them with confidence, knowledge, and leadership skills is a great experience.
Outside of your gender equality advocacy work, what do you enjoy doing?
In my downtime, I enjoy traveling, reading, visiting museums and art galleries, going to the theatre, and seeing live music.
