  • SERVICE

    I have an extensive volunteer (unpaid) background. While I am sharing my experiences here, I don’t believe we volunteer to build resumes but rather to take care of our neighbors and community. Volunteering is about doing good when you have the ability to do so. It is about living a generous life.
