Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of serving on nonprofit boards and contributing my business experience to the development and implementation of programs that strengthen health, education, and economic well-being within the community.

These experiences have shaped my leadership approach, reinforcing the importance of collaboration, thoughtful stewardship, and long-term sustainability. They have also strengthened my ability to support effective fundraising efforts and mission-driven initiatives that create meaningful impact.
