Top three non-work interest/hobbies: In these post-COVID times, a hobby is getting back to a semblance of normalcy. That includes spending more time with friends and traveling (far!). I also enjoy staying moderately fit by riding my bike, walking,
and soon I’ll be back at a gym too!
Why do you give back/ volunteer? When I moved to Atlanta, I immediately noticed that some of the biggest and most well-attended events were either put on by a community non-profit or benefiting one of the city’s many charitable LGBTQ+ organizations – and I loved that the fun times were underlined by a sense of purpose and support. For me, volunteering is two-fold: I get to immerse myself in the community and its wonderful
people, and I get to volunteer my time and contribute to make the community better and support it where there is a need. That’s also why I love More To Love, because no matter what the initiative or
event, there is an underlying commitment to making a difference.

Top three non-work interest/hobbies: Music, being outdoors, and doing anything with friends
Why do you give back/ volunteer? I like to give back and volunteer because it fulfills something in you
that you didn’t even know you needed. Knowing you have made even a small difference in someone
else’s life, or even just gave them a smile, warms my heart.
