Founder, Voice Up

It's humbling to say that in 60 days the vision of Voice Up has mobilized college students spanning over 100 colleges and universities in the U.S. and internationally without social media.

How does something like that happen?

The foundation of our work started with a simple prayer on a rainy day while I was on my lunch break. I asked God to send the people my way that would help make this what it needs to be.

Our mission is to transform how families support a healthier way for a better life. Together we will accomplish this in many different ways.
