Proudest Professional Accomplishment: “My biggest professional accomplishments at Salesforce (2019-2023) were creating and leading two impactful initiatives together with our partners and ecosystem. Through #NuestraVoz, I aimed to address the gender disparity in the tech industry by amplifying the voices of women thriving in technology across Latin America. With #NuestroPlaneta, I celebrated and promoted Salesforce’s and its partners' sustainability efforts in Latin America, showcasing initiatives focused on ecosystem restoration and leading to the planting of 1,000-plus trees in the region. At PUM Netherlands Senior Experts, I played a key role in driving business development and securing institutional funding. I successfully generated over €1,000,000 to support impactful programs; led and trained nine country teams, mentored interns; spearheaded PUM’s membership with the Aspen Network for Development Entrepreneurs; and represented PUM at international events across the USA, Kenya, the UK, and the European Union.”
WP Pride. “William Paterson University played a pivotal role in shaping my personal and professional success through its academic programs and its commitment to fostering student achievement. Completing the Social Sciences Honors Track and earning recognition in the National Honor Society in Psychology, I benefited from a strong foundation in critical thinking, inquiry, and knowledge creation. The University's emphasis on academic excellence challenged me intellectually and inspired me to push boundaries and strive for my best. Receiving the Presidential Scholarship was more than financial support; it was a testament to the University’s belief in my potential and motivated me to engage fully in both curricular and co-curricular opportunities. William Paterson's focus on diversity and civic engagement encouraged me to embrace different perspectives and recognize my responsibility to contribute meaningfully to society. This foundation of academic rigor, support, and personal growth has been instrumental in my journey, enabling me to transform my life and work toward making a difference in the lives of others.”
