What makes you feel connected to Susan G. Komen and our mission to end breast cancer?My father was a General Surgeon and had thousands of patients that survived breast cancer, plus it has personally impacted many women important to my life.
What makes you VIPink?
I am VIPink because breast cancer has personally impacted my family, and I’ve seen its toll as well as its triumphs up close. My father’s career as a general surgeon allowed him to help thousands of women through early detection and lifesaving intervention, and his example inspires me to support Komen’s mission and stand with every family affected by this disease
What will be your competitive edge against your fellow ambassadors? My competitive edge is the combination of personal connection and professional influence I bring to this role. Having witnessed breast cancer’s impact on my own family and seeing my father dedicate his career to helping thousands of women, I am deeply committed to advancing Komen’s mission. I leverage my community leadership, network, and communication skills to amplify awareness and drive meaningful support for the cause.
