WORK HISTORY
President & CEO @Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles
Make-A-Wish Greater Los Angeles\' mission is to grant life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. We strive to fulfill a wish for every eligible child in Los Angeles County. A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness. This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish. It inspires us to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it\'s the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child.Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved—wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.
