Hi, thank you for checking us out!
Why RISE?
RISE has finally come to life after many years of this thought running in my head. This amazing idea would always come back and my inner voice was getting louder and louder to the need for it to come to life. After years in volunteering and professional capacities I have had the opportunity to work with people of all ages and have found a passion for the younger generation (and my people, millennials). One of the main things I have seen to be rather consistent between all age groups, demographics, economic statuses – you name it – is we are all struggling with who we are and we rarely want others to know. In doing so, we have began to hide even from ourselves who we truly are. RISE is here for us to begin to knock down the walls we have put up within our lives. We will build community and ultimately a deeper love for ourselves and the world around us.
Who am I?
I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice, magna cum laude from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (Go Niners!). I am in my 20s, adulting, navigating the roller coaster of life, and on the continuous journey of learning and growing. I like to eat (and cook), fitness, and streaming shows (mostly crime mysteries).
I hope you enjoy browsing the site and please feel free to contact me. I would love to hear from you!
