What do you hope to accomplish in the next 5 years?
 
In the next five years, I hope to incorporate more growth, activism, and adventure into my daily life. I want to continue growing in my career while expanding my knowledge of how we can dismantle systems of oppression and build spaces where people can find belonging. I hope to earn certifications and continue my education in areas centered on equity, belonging, leadership, and project management, while also traveling and learning from new people, communities, and cultures. Most of all, I hope to build a life that feels full: full of purpose, community, new experiences, people I love, and work that I am proud of. 
 
What does the future of CIS alumni look like?
 
The future of CIS alumni is powerful, expansive, and limitless.
