I work with some of the coolest girls on Earth to help them learn all about science, math, engineering, and technology as well as gain important leadership skills. I also love to volunteer on organic farms and smile at strangers.

I volunteer my time as an assistant scoutmaster for Troop 107 in my town, and as an advisor to the Venture Crew, even though I don't have any sons, and I don't have any kids old enough to join Venture.

I try to be there for my coworkers whether it's helping them with a piece of technology, managing a work issue, or cheering them up with a funny story.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I once saved a little boy's life giving him CPR after he drowned in a pool. Also, I recently hired an Iraqi veteran who had been previously unemployed for over a year.

Why are you participating?

I am participating because this project is a wonderful way to teach others that we're all different and that's OK. It is one of the things that makes this country such a wonderful place to live. Also, because I love to find ways to help others every day!

Sharing umbrellas with random people while walking on rainy days; holding doors for people with their hands full; generally going out of my way to be courteous.

Why are you participating?

There's always opportunities to help others that require little or nothing from you; if more people realized that, we'd all be a lot better off. Stereotypes do nothing but hinder us all; I've lost track of how many times people have judged me due to my appearance.
