Why did you join AmeriCorps/National Health Corps?  I joined AmeriCorps because I wanted the chance to give back to my community through a full year of service. AmeriCorps provided me with the opportunity to gain professional experience as well as the opportunity to empower my community.

Where do you want to be in five years? What do you want to be doing?  In 5 years I hope to pursuing my Ph.D. in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology.

What is your favorite part of service?  My favorite part of service is how I've had the chance to meet so many incredible people.

What is your favorite part of Philadelphia?  My favorite part of Philly is its diversity. The people, food, and general vibe are very unique from where I grew up.
