MillenialsCare · Est. 2017
Giving back is part of who I am.
Founder, MillenialsCare · Community Leader · Volunteer Across Three Cities
I started MillenialsCare in 2017 because I believed — and still believe — that this world rises by lifting others up. It wasn't a corporate initiative or a line on a resume. It was a genuine attempt, early in my career, to organize a generation of people who actually care into something that makes a real difference.
It didn't scale the way I hoped. But it never stopped.
The Organization
What is MillenialsCare?
MillenialsCare is a nonprofit organization founded in Atlanta, Georgia in May 2017. Its mission: to bring awareness to illnesses and social issues, provide assistance to those in need, and serve as an advocate for other nonprofit organizations across varying causes.
The vision was simple but ambitious — empower Millennials all over the country to give back, lead change in their communities, and serve as great examples for the generations coming behind us.
The model was quarterly-focused: each quarter, MillenialsCare adopted a different cause — a specific disease, social issue, or community need — and spent those three months volunteering, fundraising, and raising awareness through events and social media. One quarter: cancer research. The next: a Christmas drive for an orphanage. Then health awareness walks. Then food distribution. The cause rotated. The commitment didn't.

The Honest Story
Why it didn't scale — and why that's not the end.
I founded MillenialsCare while I was early in my career and still figuring out how to carry something this big on my own. I moved from Atlanta to Nashville for a job at Change Healthcare — and I drove back to Atlanta to host events anyway. I kept volunteering through my company to keep the spirit alive.
When I moved to Silicon Valley for my role at Univfy, I hit a wall. I didn't know anyone. I was deep in a demanding career. I couldn't sustain it across that distance with no local network and no team behind me.
So MillenialsCare paused. But the mission never died.
I still believe what I believed in 2017: that Millennials, organized and intentional, can lead real change in their communities. I'm building toward the day when I have the resources, the network, and the stability to bring MillenialsCare back — properly, at scale, the way it deserves to be built.
Atlanta → Nashville → SV
Three cities. One mission.

Founder Lessons
What MillenialsCare taught me.
Building From Zero Takes Infrastructure
Great missions without operational scaffolding are unsustainable. A founder without a team is a volunteer with a logo. I learned this the hard way — and it made me a better product manager.
Community Is Geographic
You can't lead a community you've moved away from. Presence matters. When I was in Atlanta, MillenialsCare had momentum. Moving away cost the local connective tissue that made events possible.
Awareness Without Action Is Marketing
MillenialsCare was designed to do both — raise awareness and show up. The walks, the food drives, the bike giveaways weren't optics. They were the point.
Some Things Are Worth Returning To
Not everything that pauses has failed. MillenialsCare is unfinished, not abandoned. There's a difference. I carry it forward as a commitment, not a memory.
Beyond MillenialsCare
Service is a thread, not a chapter.
Community service has never been limited to one organization for me. Throughout my career, I've shown up wherever I could.
Change Healthcare — Employee Volunteer Program
Leveraged Change Healthcare's corporate volunteer program to maintain community service activity during the Nashville years, keeping the spirit of MillenialsCare alive.
Mentorship for Aspiring Product Managers
I actively make time for early-career professionals navigating the transition into product management — particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds without the same access to networks.
Cross-City Advocacy
From Atlanta to Nashville to Silicon Valley and back to Atlanta — wherever I've lived, I've found ways to plug into local organizations, causes, and communities.
Connect
Let's connect around what matters.
If you're building community programs, running nonprofit operations, or looking for someone who brings genuine service experience alongside a professional career — I'd love to be in that conversation. And if you're a Millennial who wants to be part of MillenialsCare when it comes back — stay connected.
