Nonprofit Leader Specializing in External Affairs, Program Development, Fundraising & Communications
For more than twenty years I’ve dedicated my career to ensuring that under-resourced communities have the tools, knowledge and services needed to realize their full potential.
I am an avid learner of cultures and religions, committed to celebrating diverse experiences.
I enjoy traveling the world, immersing myself in different customs, art, and food. This appreciation for diversity also drives my commitment to equity, inclusion, and social justice – holding a strong belief that each person deserves the resources and opportunities to realize their full potential.
Volunteering with organizations such as New York Cares, Harlem Grown, and mentoring high school students, helps me to use my free time to be of service to others.
