William is a dedicated professional driven by his passion for empowering youth and making a positive impact on his community. His journey began in the summer of 2010 when he embarked on a meaningful path with a non-profit organization, devoted to providing high-quality academic support and character-building enrichment to young individuals. Recognizing the importance of parental involvement, civic engagement, and social action, William immersed himself in this endeavor, laying a strong foundation for his future endeavors.
In 2013, William extended his commitment by joining another non-profit organization that focused on fostering social-emotional learning for preschool through 5th grade students. With a keen understanding of the value of holistic education, he diligently crafted enrichment-based activities aimed at helping students thrive academically and develop essential life skills. Throughout his remarkable eight-year tenure with this organization, William continuously demonstrated his unwavering dedication to making a lasting difference in the lives of these young learners.
Building upon his expertise and experience, William seized an exciting opportunity in his career journey by joining Mindful Life Project (MLP) as a mindfulness coach. During the initial two years of his collaboration with MLP, he made significant contributions in promoting mindfulness practices among the community. Now, in his third year, William proudly assumes the role of Mindfulness 360 Specialist, spearheading efforts to expand the reach of mindfulness through engaging virtual sessions and impactful school-wide assemblies.
William continues to inspire and empower communities with the transformative power of mindfulness. His passion for working alongside youth and serving his community fuels his dedication to make a lasting impact, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of those he encounters.
"The opportunity to work for MLP was a blessing that landed in my lap! After years of working in education, I wanted to explore something new. Something that would challenge me, something that would provide room for growth, while allowing me to express my creative potential within. Working with youth has always been a passion of mine, however working with youth and teaching students mindfulness and skills to cope with their social/emotional wellbeing almost felt too good to be true, until I actually landed a position as a coach doing the work. The capacity to be an advocate for youth in this regard is something I will never take for granted."
