What drives you to work on addressing social isolation & loneliness and fostering social connection?
My passion for addressing social isolation and loneliness stems from witnessing the detrimental effects of disconnection during COVID-19. I’m eager to create communities where everyone feels empowered and connected, leveraging my communication and public affairs skills to foster positive social change.
