I intended to become a journalist, but turned into a social entrepreneur, as a result of intense volunteering and travels to Liberia when I was 22. When She’s the First launched as a YouTube video in 2009, I was working at Hearst Magazines. As a web editor from 2007 to 2009, I successfully founded three teen websites in the Seventeen network, and most recently, I was the voice of Seventeen on Facebook and Twitter as the magazine’s first social media editor. I started working for She’s the First full-time in May 2012, oversee all elements of its sustainability and scaling, and am deeply involved in the U.S. student programming side of the organization. I’m currently training for my first half-marathon to support the newest She’s the First campaign to sponsor girls’ educations.
