A graduate of George Washington University, she went on to her master's intending to become a Professor of Holocaust studies. When she got married, she realized that things do not always happen as planned. Although she considered being a mom her most important job, she also wanted to do other meaningful things outside the home. She held a few significant roles in her career at synagogues as well as other charitable institutions. But just when she thought her workplace was no longer conducive to her overall growth, Breast Cancer Alliance landed on her lap. And the rest is history. 

Highlights:

•  Factors that made her take a pay cut just to hop into BCA and the long-term benefits
•  The significant contribution of voluntarism to the growth of charitable institutions especially at making sure that their funds go to places they originally envisioned
• How their upbringing instilled in them the spirit as well as the fruit of volunteerism and passion for social justice
•  Critically deciding between remote and face-to-face operations transitioning from covid to post-covid
• The scope and coverage of BCA operations and grants
