Administrative Director, Social Impact and Community Investment
What is your personal WHY? How does your work in the Social Impact and
Community Investment Practice at RWJBH motivate you to obtain your WHY?
To create opportunities so all people can be able to share their magic
with the world and capitalize on their greatness to live the life they
have imagined.
Always having a passion around medicine and health, I realized as my education
progressed that what truly excited me was upstream solutions that have
the power to effect change among populations, not just a patient. The
Social Impact and Community Investment practice provides me with a platform
to work on initiatives that evoke long-lasting systemic change, right
generational wrongs, and improve the lives of all communities. The work
motivates me because it gives me the chance to use my privilege to help
level the playing field and create fairness in an unjust world.
I cannot go a day without…
Talking to my family
Talking in general
Laughing
Quoting movies
As a child, I dreamed I would grow up to be…
A teacher, pediatrician, veterinarian, a talk show host, or a cashier at
Marshalls (yes, the last one is true).
If I could give a 10 second speech to the entire United States, my message
would be…
Now more than ever, we need not to raise our voices but elevate our arguments
- finding value in listening and respecting different viewpoints and remember
that we need not to think alike to love alike.
The factual or fictional character from a book, movie, or television show
who I most identify with is and why?
Jane the Virgin – She’s hard working and family oriented in
a way that honors tradition but still a modern feminist with big goals.
Hermione Granger – A loyal friend, always ready for adventure, who
loves to learn and can be a little bit of a know it all, with frizzy hair.
