Throughout my life, I have been led by a deep sense of purpose to eradicate poverty, improve the global quality of life, and create a world where everyone’s needs are met. This led me to work in real estate, where I hoped to one day develop equitable cities and build schools. These goals remain unchanged; however, last year, I began to question how I could make a stronger, more visible impact now, rather than in the future.
I started my career at age 12, working across retail sales, hospitality, nonprofit education, and real estate, gaining early exposure to how organizations operate and how different stakeholders experience them. To expand my knowledge, I earned my B.A. in Corporate Communications from Baruch College, with a minor in Psychology, where I built a strong foundation in public relations, strategic communication, storytelling, stakeholder engagement, and organizational behavior.
Shortly after graduating last year, I took an intentional sabbatical to align my career with my purpose directly and to learn how to address the world’s most pressing challenges. This led me to explore topics such as global development, wealth inequality, systems thinking, and regenerative post-growth economic models. Both my academic and professional pursuits continue to reinforce my belief that businesses can play a powerful role in creating a flourishing world, particularly when they are aligned with a clear purpose for human and planetary wellbeing.
Today, my goal is to help more businesses harness their power for socioenvironmental good by partnering with leaders to explore how their operations, stakeholder experiences, communications, and strategy can more fully align with their purpose, mission, and vision. I also plan to build a not-for-profit real estate business as another example of what the next generation of business will be.
I am actively seeking opportunities to continue learning through real-world experience, mentorship, and collaboration. If you resonate with my mission or are also working to make a positive impact, please feel free to connect with me, and let’s plan a virtual or in-person coffee chat!
