Help Hoosier youth with barriers to success through government programs; coach high school basketball in Indianapolis
It sounds cliche, but the only thing typical about my job is that it's atypical. I may be in a school talking to students about the perils of bullying, reviewing a school's youth programs with them, or at the government center with peers trying to cook up the next great way to help Hoosier youths! I also do the program's social media, so if there's something fun that I get to post on our accounts, that breaks up the day nicely, too! After work, then it's on to basketball practice at the school.
""You'll never get anywhere" or "you can't do that" were themes I heard pretty often, especially as I struggled through college and several years after. It didn't hit me until almost 10 years out of school where I was really meant to be in the world."
