Volunteering
Network Technician
Help provide affordable and neutral internet to everyone who needs or wants it in NYC. Like a lot of Mesh volunteers I help out in a bunch of different ways:
- Light high altitude work to install and maintain large hubs
- Network maintenance
- Hardware configuration & installation
- General community support & engagement
Teacher and TA
As a Girl Develop It Instructor and TA I've taught several of the classes offered through the Indianapolis chapter. Some of these include Intro to JavaScript, Intro to Web Concepts, and Intro to HTML and CSS. I highly enjoy the experience of teaching and helping students learn more about web development and technology in general.
Surf for Life Ambassador
As an ambassador for Surf for Life I am the main point of contact for any Indianapolis based Salesforce employee when they have questions or want to know more about SFL. I organize regular Lunch 'n' Learns to spread the word about SFL and its mission in Indianapolis. And I coordinate with the Surf for Life team to bring the most up to date information about volunteering opportunities to my coworkers in Indy.
Overseas Volunteer
As a volunteer for a Surf for Life trip to Guatemala I provided funding and work hours to build a high school in the coastal town of El Paredon. I was also involved in organizing educational activities for local elementary school children. And by interacting with the local building crew I was able to gain a better understanding of their community and motivated some of them to sign up for english classes.
