Meet Our

Sharing my love of DC, the Nation's Capital, with
the world.
Welcome to 202 Alumni! I’m glad that you are here. Whether online or in-person, I want this to feel like family, so here is a little bit about me.
My parents are veterans and were stationed in the city before I was born. We started on Bolling AFB and then moved to Capitol Hill. I have gone to school in Anacostia, Capitol Hill, Alexandria, and PG County. I was moving through the DMV before people called it that!
I moved away for college with plans to travel the world. I’ve still traveled, but I guess I couldn’t shake DC. I’ve built a career and a life right here where it all started. Community, activism, and having a great time are a big part of who I am. I’ve decided to share these passions with you!
I love this city and want to connect people to our history, businesses, music, and much more. Raised DC, a collection of stories featuring people from DC, is the first product of 202 Alumni. Thank you for taking part in this journey!
