As a realtor, store owner, entrepreneur, and single mother of 3, I have enjoyed working with the public and volunteering for over 25 years. I have helped run school auctions, coached a toddler youth sports activity class, and  served as the chief of procurement for three years of the high school graduation party. I volunteered for the past 20 years in classrooms, field trips, and anything youth-oriented.

 

In my long quest to find a location where I can give back and fill a need, Purses For A Purpose, Inc. spoke to me. With its vastness in helping fellow females and girls in need, I was definitely interested. I hope to be an inspiration for women who might need a little love in their life, just a little glimmer of hope. And a reminder that the world isn’t that bad and many have faced housing insecurity at least once in their lives. It is possible to make it out with the right resources and support! 

​

These purses are more than just a fashion statement. They are a gesture of hope and kindness.

Chapter Coordinator of New York City, New York​

 I’m a third-year medical student currently exploring a future in Obstetrics and Gynecology. I’ve always been drawn to women’s health and the unique blend of continuity, advocacy, and hands-on care that OBGYN offers.

Before med school, I earned my degree in Psychology while playing Division I soccer, an experience that taught me resilience, discipline, and how to thrive under pressure, both on and off the field.

I was born and raised in Canada, and when I’m not studying or in the hospital, you can usually find me out for a run or in the kitchen trying a new baking recipe. These hobbies help keep me grounded and give me space to recharge and stay creative.
