What inspired you to serve with MPF and what are you most looking forward to this year?
I was looking forward to being a part of a new Host Site and the opportunity to grow.
What does a typical day in the life of an MPF fellow look like?
Meeting with and chasing down students! A lot of program planning and providing support for other organizational initiatives.
What do you appreciate about your host site?
They are aligned with a lot of my values. They also care a lot about my personal wellbeing and overall personal and professional growth.
What are your plans after MPF and how is doing a year of service helping?
I plan on re-entering the workforce being that I will be done with my master’s degree from NEU. My year of service aids in this because I am able to take courses for free. There are also opportunities for PD and mentorship which will help me to further solidify post-graduate plans.
What is your favorite part of working with youth?
I love their energy. They’re super intelligent and full of character.
What is your life motto/ mantra/ affirmation?
“You are capable.”
What is your favorite way to practice selfcare, especially during this year of service?
I spend time each day catering to myself instead of making it a once-in-a-while thing. It can look like anything from taking longer showers to cooking myself a good meal.
