My ethos

I believe that access to technology is not a privilege—it’s a necessity for full participation in education, work, and community life. My mission is to help close the digital divide in rural communities by creating pathways that connect people not only to broadband, but also to knowledge, opportunity, and empowerment.

I am guided by three core principles:

  • Equity: Everyone deserves the same chance to learn, grow, and succeed, no matter where they live or what their background may be.

  • Innovation with Purpose: I use tools, resources, and creative solutions to meet real community needs—not just to follow trends.

  • Community First: True progress happens when people are welcomed, supported, and given the skills to thrive together.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to dismantling barriers and building bridges—because I believe a connected community is a stronger, more resilient community.
