WORK HISTORY
Brand Ambassador @National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc
Chicago, IL, US
As a brand ambassador for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), I am dedicated to the mission of providing \"Helping Women Now\" through early detection, education, and support services. My commitment is fueled by my journey as a 2nd place winner in the 2025 Fab Over 40 competition, a milestone that allowed me to turn personal resilience into a powerful platform for advocacy.I continue to build on the incredible momentum of the 2025 campaign, where I was part of a collective effort that helped achieve over $2.7 million in donations for NBCF. These funds are instrumental in providing life-saving mammograms, patient navigation, and HOPE Kits to those currently facing a breast cancer diagnosis.As an ambassador, my role encompasses:Fundraising Leadership: Utilizing the visibility gained from my 2nd place finish to drive ongoing donations and support for NBCF’s national programs.Empowering Advocacy: Sharing the message that beauty and strength are ageless, while educating my community on the vital importance of breast health awareness and regular screenings.Community Connection: Representing the NBCF at events and through digital outreach to ensure that no one has to navigate their breast cancer journey alone.Legacy of Impact: Honoring the generosity of those who supported my 2025 campaign by ensuring every dollar raised continues to provide tangible hope and medical resources to women in need.
