My Why
My life story reflects a rich tapestry of resilience, family values, and a commitment to helping others. My experiences as a professional, mother, and nonprofit leader, along with the influence of strong women in my life, have shaped a philosophy centered on joy, family, personal well-being, and positive community impact. I recognize that charitable nonprofits are vehicles for transforming shared beliefs into impactful action with transformative potential to address a wide range of societal needs.
I desire to help others to leverage their experience, skills, and expertise to build the next generation of nonprofits that offer a forward-thinking and proactive approach to social issues. I am committed to guiding the next generation of volunteers to channel their skills where they are most needed and fostering a culture of service and civic engagement.
