In April 2025, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Miami Local to reflect on my journey as an entrepreneur and the path that led me to found a corporate philanthropy consulting firm grounded in strategy, purpose, and measurable impact.
During the interview, I shared how nearly two decades of experience in philanthropy shaped my belief that giving should never be transactional—it should be transformational. We discussed the importance of aligning corporate philanthropy with business goals, building authentic community partnerships, and designing initiatives that create meaningful, lasting change.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to highlight not only my entrepreneurial story, but also the critical role that strategic philanthropy plays in strengthening both organizations and the communities they serve.
