How long have you been involved with United Way?

I have been directly involved in United Way LINC for 2 years.

Where do you work and what neighborhood do you live in? What’s your favorite thing about each?

I work downtown and live in Grandview.  It's great living so close to downtown and being able to enjoy everyone the city has to offer like the Arena District, Short North, and Grandview Ave to name a few. I've lived in or around Columbus my entire life and I'm still finding new places to enjoy on a regular basis.

What do you love most about Columbus?

The best thing about living in Columbus is the fact that, while Columbus is a big city, you still can get that small town feel. Columbus really has a lot to offer.

 

What do you think is the biggest challenge for your generation?

The biggest challenge for my generation is engagement. We live in an age where we are constantly connected, where technology is at our fingertips. It is hard to get my generation to engage and not hide behind a screen.

If you could help change one thing in your community for the next generation, what would it be?

If I could change one thing about our community, I would want more engagement.  I was constantly active and outside as a kid whether it be involvement in a team sport or just outside playing.  I'd like our community to get back to that and put down the video games and phones.  The more engaged and involved we can be with each other, the better.

 What motivates you to make time to give back to the community?

I have been truly blessed by the experiences I have been afforded.  As a result, I want to be able to give back and help enable, in whatever way possible, others to have experiences that generate the same feels.

Why LINC? What resonates with you?

LINC addresses the biggest challenge my generation faces and the one thing I'd like to change in our community, engagement.  LINC challenges us to get involved and engage in our community together.

Favorite LINC event

My favorite event is LINC's Books & Brews.  What better way to enjoy drinks and collect books and other donations for kids?!?  It is so fun to reminisce about the books we used to read as kids.

 

 

Favorite place to grab a drink

Anywhere in the Short North, too many great places to choose from!
