And now a little of me..

I retired from an extensive career in the nonprofit sector. I have more than 25 years leadership experience working at hunger-relief organizations in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, and New York. In my last role as President & CEO of the Food Bank of South Jersey, I had overall responsibility for the strategic, programmatic, financial, and management operations of the $22M nonprofit organization based in New Jersey. One of my crowning achievements in addition to ensuring that more than 200,00 people in need in South Jersey had access to food, was the creation of Just Peachy Salsa, a social enterprise venture in which I partnered with Campbell Soup Company and South Jersey peach farmers to re-purpose fresh peaches into a shelf stable product that was sold in more than 48 retail food outlets in South Jersey. Just Peachy Salsa hit record sales of $300k in less than three years.

My work has been profiled in leading print, television and radio broadcast such as Black Enterprise, Philadelphia Business Journal, Courier Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, ABC and NBC TV to name a few. I received several awards for my work that includes Nonprofit Executive of the Year, New Jersey 50 Most Influential Women in Business, Lifetime Legacy Award at SJ Magazine’s Women of Excellence, Outstanding Fundraising Professional by the Southern New Jersey Chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Mutual of America Hometown Hero, SJ Business Journal: Person of the Month, Camden County Woman of the Month, South Jersey Super Women: 40 Women Making a Difference, Brava Woman of the Year, National Association of Women Business Owners Heroine of the Year and Philadelphia Business Journal Minority Business Leader of the Year.

I look forward to meeting you and learning about your next project!
