My passion lies in community engagement, promoting health awareness, and strengthening cultural diversity, equity, and inclusion on a global scale. For over 45 years, I have supported senior-level faculty and executives in various healthcare and economic development roles. My journey includes roles at the Greater Philadelphia Economic Development Corporation, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute, and currently at the Perelman School of Medicine in the Center for Global Genomics & Health Equity at the University of Pennsylvania. I attended Pierce College and the University of Pennsylvania where I majored in Business Administration. Throughout my 30+ years at UPenn, I have served on UPenn’s Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) Community Advisory Board and the University of Pennsylvania’s Association of Business Administrators. Additionally, I am a proud Lifetime Member of the National Council of Negro Women, Philadelphia Section.
