working for change

I am always looking for new opportunities to  promote my profession and give back to my community, at home and around the world.

One of the main not-for-profit organizations I support is Women for Women International, which provides women survivors of conflicts and crises with tools and resources to move toward stability. Their approach combines microlending with direct aid. They have helped more than 150,000 women and their families since 1993. As a woman and a business owner, I share Women for Women International's vision of a just world and donate a percentage of my profits to their efforts.
