Luke began working at Special Love in March of 2024. He was drawn to the organization by an urge to use his experiences as a young adult cancer survivor to come alongside other young people facing the same challenge he did and make a positive impact in their lives. While Luke has had the desire to help others since his initial diagnosis in 2020, working at Special Love has formed this desire into a passion for the childhood cancer community.
Luke’s background in digital media spans varied contexts, and he is certified in the use of Google Ads. Luke uses his research-heavy education in psychology to stay abreast of current trends in digital marketing and media consumption.
Luke’s fundraising experience began before his time at Special Love when he independently executed a successful fundraising campaign for the Cancer Research Institute while on bed rest several days after his initial diagnosis. He also partnered with his oncology team at the Johns Hopkins Hospital to raise funds for one of their pediatric oncology research laboratories.
Luke is excited about his developing career in the non-profit world, and he is looking forward to growing with Special Love as the organization continues to expand its impact.
