In one word: 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥As a relentless advocate for social impact, I’m driven by the belief that business can be a powerful force for good when innovation and purpose come together.I have over 6 years of experience in the social impact space—from serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer, to leading business development at a social entrepreneurship firm in the Dominican Republic, to addressing crisis, recovery, and health equity initiatives on the Maryland Department of Health’s Covid-19 Task Force, and most recently, advancing financial literacy and access to education through 529 Education Savings investments at The Vanguard Group. My career trajectory has been diverse by design, allowing me to work across sectors and engage with an array of stakeholders to drive meaningful, high-impact solutions—proving that creating positive social change also drives sustainable business growth.My journey began in international development, where I learned the value of building relationships and engaging stakeholders at all levels—from grassroots community organizers to executives and government leaders. I developed the ability to tailor my communication to different audiences with empathy and cross-cultural sensitivity. These experiences helped me recognize that, in order to maximize the impact of social initiatives, I needed to better understand how technology, business, and private sector engagement could serve as catalysts for global growth.Now, equipped with an MBA from Simon Business School, I bring a uniquely innovative perspective that blends both quantitative and qualitative skills. My expertise spans corporate social responsibility, strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven execution—allowing me to craft and execute solutions that drive social impact while aligning with business objectives.As I look to the future, I am actively seeking opportunities where I can continue driving corporate social responsibility initiatives that deliver meaningful, long-term impact. My passion lies in advancing health equity, financial inclusion, and sustainability, and I thrive in environments where innovation, collaboration, and purpose are central to solving complex, real-world challenges. I’m eager to contribute to organizations that are committed to bridging the gap between social impact and business objectives, ensuring that purpose and profit work together to create sustainable solutions.
