How did you start getting involved with GET?
My friend introduced me to the community, and I love the variety of events and opportunities GET Phoenix offers. It enables me to experience and learn other professions and help out the community.
Why did you decide to become a GET Phoenix Member?
Being new to Phoenix, I always knew I wanted to find a community of professionals to be able to grow in both my social and professional mindset, meet new people and participate in different philanthropies and outreach programs.
Fun Fact about yourself?
I’ve had my own travel blog since 2012 where I write stories, guides and share tips from my experiences when traveling. The blog is called Mapless Adventures, and it’s about living life without a mapped out plan and taking on whatever challenges, experiences or opportunities that come. Let’s just say I don’t plan things very well and like to be semi-spontaneous!
