Two years ago I was a food scientist with spare time, and decided to make a change. Now, I volunteer with 3 non-profit organizations, plus twice a week with inpatients at Children's Memorial Hospital. I grant wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and mentor new wish granters to do the same, in addition to volunteering at various events. I am in charge of fundraising and partake in street outreach for StandUp For Kids, aimed to improve the lives of homeless and at-risk youth. Lastly, once a week I assist Bear Necessities, a pediatric cancer foundation providing small miracles to kids with cancer and awarding grants to cancer research. I've never worked harder or been happier in my life.
