As a volunteer she founded the Make A Blast Against Brain Cancer Comedy Show to benefit children with brain cancer at the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center. She then went on to pursue non-profit work full time, spending over 3 years as the Director of Special Events and Fundraising at the New England Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. She launched her own company in 2019 and is now full time running Simple Sips Fresh Cocktail Mix.It was during her time with the Foundation that she learned so much about the challenges of living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Fundraising is her passion and she hopes to strategically drive funds to provide much needed support services to the 1% of Americans suffering from these diseases, many doing so in silence.
