It is an organization that matched my desire to be philanthropic, help my community and meet like-minded women. When I went to a Meet & Greet session, I was sold; it was the right match for me.

Lead a group of amazing women with similar interests and commitment to our mission to ensure all members understand DEI’s role and importance within our organization and community.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are all about contributing to a sense of belonging. As the committee chair, I can help Impact100 Garden State as an organization explore, investigate, and ensure that we are thinking about and incorporating belonging into all we do.

This role offers the opportunity to partner with other driven women in exploring ideas and concepts and recommending organizational changes. We are helping make a difference both within Impact100 Garden State and in our communities.

I was a full-time college professor for many years teaching psychology courses and conducting research. I now teach on an adjunct basis. My academic specialization is people effectiveness in the workplace, more formally known as industrial/organizational psychology. My research has focused on women’s work issues. I earned my Master’s and Ph.D. in psychology at Wayne State University.

I have been a regular volunteer with nourish.NJ (formerly the Community Soup Kitchen) for over a decade. While my children were growing up, I was an active volunteer in their schools. I also have worked with Northern New Jersey United Way on their ALICE (asset limited income constrained employed) research to quantify and publicize the large number of Americans who are employed but are one emergency away from requiring additional assistance.
