What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership CSR role where I can scale programs, align community impact with business strategy, lead teams, and measure outcomes in a collaborative culture.

I lead corporate social responsibility and community engagement strategy with a focus on aligning community investment to business goals. In my current Director role I develop strategic plans and manage programs that connect business objectives with measurable community impact.

I manage stakeholder engagement, giving and volunteer programs for 6,000+ employees across 35 communities and oversee budget management, grants systems, and data impact reporting to improve outcomes. I also lead a team responsible for in-kind donation programs, employee engagement and communications, and local community relations.

Previously, I established an Access to Medicine and medicine donation program that reached 500k+ patients globally and directed CSR strategy and US giving operations, including volunteer programs, compliance, and external affairs. I have built partnerships and implemented stakeholder engagement strategies to deepen program impact.

I bring experience across corporate, nonprofit and consulting environments, having scaled outreach campaigns, coordinated events, and developed external partnerships. I hold professional certificates in corporate citizenship communications and public speaking and remain active in community leadership roles.
