My Community Leadership
My community leadership activities revolve around driving positive change and promoting inclusivity across various domains. I actively engage in initiatives that enable me to contribute to these goals.
Currently, I serve as a Screening and selection Startup Judge for the prestigious New Venture Competition (NVC) at the Harvard Business School (HBS) Alumni Angels Association. This competition, sponsored by HBS's Rock Center for Entrepreneurship and Social Enterprise Initiative, allows me to guide and support student entrepreneurs as they transform visionary ideas into impactful realities. This role continues to be both a privilege and a source of constant inspiration.
As an MIT Solve Champion, I have the opportunity to foster connections and champion innovative solutions addressing global challenges. This role empowers me to contribute to impactful problem-solving initiatives within a worldwide community of leaders and innovators.
Reflecting on my past experiences, I have been honored to engage in a variety of leadership roles:
- As an Associate Vice President in the Special Programs Division of the MIT Club of Boston, I spearheaded the inaugural event of the annual series Living in the Future: Human Health in 2050. This groundbreaking conference united experts and innovators to shed light on emerging health challenges and explore the future of healthcare.
- Through my involvement with the Women Initiative at the Harvard Entrepreneurs Association (HEA), I worked to empower and support women in entrepreneurship, fostering growth and inclusivity within the entrepreneurial community.
- Serving as a mentor within the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association (HBA) allowed me to guide and empower women navigating their career paths, reinforcing the importance of inclusion in the healthcare sector.
I have collaborated with esteemed institutions and associations through these diverse endeavors to create meaningful impact. I remain dedicated to driving positive change, fostering inclusivity, and creating a more equitable future.
Let’s connect, collaborate, and work towards lasting solutions together.
