I am being honored by Living Classrooms Foundation as a 2025 Rising Star, an award recognizing outstanding young leaders for their achievements and philanthropic efforts. In accepting this distinction, I have committed to raising money to help Living Classrooms fulfil their mission of working with communities to create effective hands-on education, workforce development, health and wellness, and community safety programs that bring learning alive to youth and adults in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. areas.

I am thrilled to be a part of this year's Rising Stars and support this amazing organization! Knowledge is power, but it's also community, growth, equality, and peace. Living Classrooms opens the door for so many, in a multitude of ways, and provides the education in a way that is fun, impactful, and lasting.
