Hello,
Nice to meet you! While you're here, I'd love to tell you a bit about my background and passions.
​
I grew up in Marbella, Spain with my family (and speak conversational Spanish!) where I found a love of tennis and travel that was the spark for many of my professional endeavors.
These opportunities have allowed me to travel globally consulting for non-profit organizations and startups. My travels have brought me to 25+ states as well as Spain, Argentina, Australia, the UK, and Morocco - including several months in Australia consulting for the University of New South Wales on a $100 million campaign for a new medical precinct. Since then, I've been the VP, Chief of Staff for a Biotech startup that focuses on disruptive diagnostic devices.
Fun fact: Tennis is my lifelong passion and I was the youngest board member for United States Tennis Association Middle States region and managed Billie Jean King’s U.S. Open Suite for 4 years.
One of the highlights of my career was being the Executive Director of a Philadelphia-based tennis and character foundation, Down The Line and Beyond. Under my leadership, it grew 10x in its impact, which led to receiving multiple awards including USTA Middle States NJTL chapter of the year, an honorary citation from the City of Philadelphia and New York University’s Distinguished Public Service Award for Alumni.
As an extension of my love of the court, I continue to work with and volunteer for many organizations across the country, focusing mainly on the inauguration of the Eppley Perseverance Award on behalf of my late father that provides scholarships to inner city youth. My passion for philanthropy also reside in being a member of American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC), Pennsylvania Public Health Association, and working with the USTA.
