    What I Do

    Passionate social entrepreneur, COO & Co-Founder of @Upswing.

    Currently immersed in improving the way that student success is achieved in higher education through engaging and predictive technology.

    Describe what you have done, what you are doing, and the kinds of things you are interested in.
    Achievements

    - Co-founded @Upswing and have grown it from concept to an investor-backed, revenue-generating company (currently at $100k MRR). Alumnus of @groundworklabs incubator and @techwildcatters accelerator programs.

    - Started an after-school mentoring organization for middle school latino youth in North Carolina called Los Caballeros. I coordinated volunteers from local universities to provide in-person tutoring, mentoring, and life skills training to latino students.

    - Founding member of the Community Empowerment Fund, a 501-(c)(3) in Chapel Hill, NC that provides support services to lower income community members. It has since expanded into 3 cities and has helped hundreds of people at risk of homelessness.
