Today we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Emanuel
Hi Ashley, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
About a year ago, having gone through a major spiritual transformation, God revealed to me that I had a passion for giving and serving others.
I wanted to get more involved in giving back to those who were underserved in our community. However, like many others, it was challenging at first to identify opportunities to do so without knowing what non-profit organizations were out there.
From this desire to fill that void, Impact Pal was born. Impact Pal is a way to help those who want to give back, identify opportunities to do so in Austin.
I post ongoing and upcoming volunteer opportunities, non profit or community based social good events, and austin area non profits.
All of the opportunities are sourced by me and posted on Impact Pal, a website I also designed and created myself.
It is my deepest desire that Impact Pal helps foster a culture of more love, service, and generosity in the city of Austin for all of Gods people.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The biggest struggle was creating my website from scratch and sourcing all the content myself.
It has gotten easier now that I have a social media account to follow other non profit organizations to stay in the know.
Impact Pal is a free resource for those to use and I intend to keep it that way.
However, being the sole content creator while balancing my full time job definitely adds challenges. I don’t have the time to post everyday so I try to post once a week.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
When most people meet me, they would never guess I work in Tech as a Cyber Security & Compliance Engineer or that I use to spend hours a day on the family computer studying time travel at 15.
I am someone who is intrigued by AI, innovation, and design. This makes me a techie and an artist at heart who loves to create and think deeply into things. I have been designing and building websites ever since I was 15, and I am most proud of my eye for simplicity.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
You can support me by sharing my post or account with friends and family who also have a passion for service!
