Coordinator, Social Impact and Community Investment
What is your personal WHY? How does your work in the Social Impact and
Community Investment Practice at RWJBH motivate you to obtain your WHY?
My personal WHY is to make an impact by improving the lives of everyone
I interact with, no matter how minuscule the improvement I take comfort
in the idea that people are better off because of our interaction. SICI
Practice at RWJBH will motivate me by providing me the opportunity to
interact with more people on a larger scale, which will allow me to keep
fulfilling my personal Why.
Excluding money, what do you think is the single most effective gift that

The single most effective gift that anyone can be given to change their
circumstances is opportunity. Opportunity and chances are the sparks that
light the flames of change.

The factual or fictional character from a book, movie, or television show
who I most identify with is and why?
Wolverine is my favorite superhero of all time because of his resilience,
fearlessness and superpower. No matter what is thrown at him, he pushes
through to meet his objectives. Even when facing impossible odds the fear
of failure does not prevent him from taking action. Lastly, Wolverine's
mutant ability is a healing factor that allows him to heal from virtually
any wound, and I'm in awe of this power because it symbolizes that the
key to our well-being comes from within.
