So, my service learning and experiences ebbed and flowed as I continued along my journey into adulthood. During college, I mostly began my professional service career by getting my undergrad in psychology and working with the domestic violence and sexual assault victims at a safe house and a crisis line.
After graduation, I moved and continued my work in the public service field as I continued to work with battered women and people suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction.
The summer of 2005, shortly after the major tsunami which took out Sri
Lanka and Banda Aceh, Indonesia, I went with my mother to do relief work
in Banda Ache and help rebuild a school there.
This boat was I kilometer from shore.
We brought school supplies and met the children of the local school which the Medfield Middle School system had partnered with, thanks to my Mom, Margaret Mongiello, and her great heart and inspiring dedication.

| We met a wonderful staff and partnered with Plan International, to help bring joy and supplies to people who had just lost everything. It was rewarding and devastating at the same time. Thanks Mom, for raising me to the be the person that I am and teaching me to value service. I clearly got it from you, and wouldn't trade this quality for anything in the world. |
