President
I would characterize myself as a lifelong learner who always strives to make sure that my insights can benefit various communities with an emphasis on those who need help the most. A common thread in my career has been trying to “give a voice to the voiceless,” and attempting to instill confidence (and hope) in disadvantaged and vulnerable populations that through collaborative efforts their circumstances can improve. I have continuously focused on social justice and environmental justice, as well as equity, diversity, and inclusion.
