Loved getting to review and provide some answers on CareerVillage during HubSpot's Global Micro Volunteering Day. I had looked for something like this when I was navigating the post-school/career search life. And tonight I got a note from one of the people I provided some insight for. It felt super awesome!

With thousands of attendees converging at INBOUND each year, it's essential to prioritize sustainability throughout all aspects of the event. Beyond fundamental practices such as recycling, composting, and reusing materials annually, we also offer resources for attendees to offset their carbon footprints, commit to partnering with local vendors wherever possible, and select venues distinguished for their robust sustainability initiatives.

I take action through mentorship programs such as First Gens in Tech and Women in tech. This mentorship experience has enabled me to be a thoughtful leader at HubSpot. Thoughtful leaders allow you to feel that you belong. I can't think of a greater gift to share with someone than the feeling that they are in the right place at the right time, appreciated and welcomed, and capable and up to the task at hand. Thoughtful leaders convey this in each interaction, and they inspire excellence in a sustainable way that allows teams to flourish.

We installed 15 solar panels on the roof of the house, for a 6kWp system. Working from home means I can use the energy that’s produced during the day, and send any excess to my electric vehicle battery.

Working remotely allows me to reduce my carbon footprint, while spending more of my time and money locally. I'm even able to volunteer at my community fridge every Friday on my lunch break.
