Previous roles include Chair of Housing and Human Services for Manhattan Community Board 12 and Chair of the National Council for UNA-USA, advocating for global cooperation and youth leadership.I’m passionate about public service, effective governance, and empowering diverse teams to create change at local and global levels. I bring strong skills in stakeholder engagement, strategic planning, programme delivery, and organizational leadership.
