Hosting Gatherings

Hosting gatherings is a way to foster connections and cultivate community. This can apply to existing long-term friendships, and to more newly developing ones.

Living in New York City, I often meet new people while participating in various activities, groups, and social spaces. I strongly value being able to bring people together. It's really great to be able to introduce people from different circles to each other and see what commonalities may be found and what connections may be made.

I would say that fostering connections and cultivating community is one of my core values and goals. It's one of those things I feel I will be doing my whole life.
