When I was MUCH younger, my family owned a restaurant in Queens NY. People of all backgrounds came to it. I met and learned that regardless of their language or religion, they all wanted the best for their families and community. The interactions have most certainly enhanced my business career.  I’ve had the pleasure to work for and with various international corporations and made connections all over. I will do my best empowering everyone to getting involved in education, and community issues and building coalitions! While the world is large, our connections are closer than 6 degrees.
