“Essentially, I started listening in the mornings with Morning Edition and listening to the news and staying current on events. And that was in 2012 I was in grad school. And because of the budget that I was on, I didn’t start giving. I told myself I was like, “You know what. OK the first thing I want to do when I defend is give back and donate.” So, my first donation was last year and it was right before I defended my thesis. It was about maybe a month prior to and that was actually my reason. I you know I just listened over the years and I knew I was like you know I definitely want to give what I’m able to and so now that I’m out of that grad school kind of budget I can give back.”
