Being a volunteer in the community is another role of mine. I have always had a heart for people and I think that it is extremely important to give back to the community.

The following are just a few ways I have been involved in the community:
- Tiny Houses Greensboro – Helped build tiny houses in Greensboro to support those experiencing homelessness.
- Triangle United Way Teaming for Technology – Refurbished computers for donation to local nonprofits.
- Chavis Heights Fall Tech Festival – Offered technology support for participants at the Fall Tech Festival.
- NC Connected at the T4T La Familia Tech Event – Demonstrated for families how to used their new computers.
- Avalon Community Development Center – Provided academic tutoring to students from immigrant and refugee communities.
- Meals on Wheels of Wake County – Delivered weekly meals and provided human interaction to elderly and home-bound clients.
- American Red Cross – Volunteered at the shelter set up to temporarily house hurricane Katrina victims. Worked in the computer lab helping those victims search for displaced family members.
Also, I got the chance to meet some very influential people while representing NC Connected at SNCC’s 50th Anniversary conference and running the cyber cafe that we provided at the conference.
