    For four years I had the honor of serving on the Board of Advisors for the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, where I represented a collective resource of senior business professionals, industry leaders, and dedicated supporters of the school. Our mission was to actively contribute to the school's development and assist in shaping and realizing its vision.

    During my tenure, I made significant contributions to impactful initiatives centered around empowering youth and women in developing countries, as well as promoting opportunities for women and minorities in the United States to pursue careers in technology. Through these initiatives, we aimed to bridge the digital divide and create pathways for underrepresented groups to thrive in the rapidly evolving field of technology.

    It was an immensely rewarding experience to collaborate with fellow board members and stakeholders to drive meaningful change and foster inclusivity within the technology sector. I am proud to have played a part in opening doors and creating opportunities for individuals who have historically been underrepresented in the industry.
