What drives you to work on addressing social isolation & loneliness and fostering social connection?

I’ve long believed that a relational crisis is at the root of many of the political, economic, social, and environmental crises we face today. In fostering social connection, I hope to help revive a sense of interdependence—the idea that “we’re all in this together.” Through my work at F4SC, I’m committed to building a future defined by care, solidarity, and trust for generations to come.
