Core Value: Innovating Possibilities

My work is purpose-driven, centered on Java Joy, expanding our reach to new families, and fostering community connections. I joined ESP two years ago as summer staff and quickly grew into the mission. I’ve interned across programs and family support, and most recently served as a Programs Assistant at ESP Athens, supporting afternoon programs, club events, and Miracle League.

Originally from Wisconsin, I moved to Georgia for college and quickly became a Dawgs fan. Outside of work, I love hiking, finding new farmers markets, and occasionally watching hockey. At ESP, I look forward to creating an environment where everyone is celebrated and loved!

My degree is actually completely unrelated to my role at ESP—it’s in Applied Biotechnology! I’m a huge science nerd and love learning how things work.
