Corporate Responsibility & Social Impact

New York City Metropolitan Area

About

Over my career I have aspired to use my role in corporate responsibility and strategy to make an impact that benefit not only the stakeholders, but also shareholders. I take pride in implementing a socially responsible philosophy that connects an organization to its community, employees and constituents. I create and execute Corporate Responsibility Campaigns that empower stakeholders to engage in volunteer service throughout the country and become brand ambassadors. Through my leadership employees learn that their company is invested in their communities through social justice, racial equity, education, and health disparities. I’ve developed CSR program strategy, and have a unique talent to vet and engage key partners that meet a company’s social responsibility goals while ensuring a return on investment dollars. Social responsibility, philanthropy and personal health goals are my calling. When I leave work, I train runners to exceed their race & fitness goals, and I also mentor children as a Girl Scout leader. I believe everyone should live authentically, confidently, and positively. So I leave you with this quote, “be confident in your strengths and build relationships to execute a combined vision.”
