Director of Data Governance at Franklin Sports, Girls Inc. Alumnae and member parent.

“Girls Inc. set a foundation for me as a young female, it taught me confidence, how to stand up for myself and that as a female I could do anything I set my mind to. I learned so many life skills from this program that I still use today. I have spent most of my career working in the sporting goods industry which is a very male dominant workspace. I have been able to grow in my career over the years and I am proud to say that although I work with so many males, I am a very powerful voice and leader for our company. A lot of what I learned from my parents and Girls Inc. has played a huge part in my success.  It also was a program that I knew that if someday I had girls they would attend here. I am happy to say as a mother of 2 girls ages 16 and 12 that they both attended Girls Inc. and I will forever be thankful for that opportunity.  

Girls Inc. taught my girls, self-confidence and self-love which is so important these days but most importantly it taught my girls that they have a voice and that they can do anything they set their mind to. Both my girls have so many great memories like I do of Girls Inc., and it is something that till this day I talk about with friends and family. I tell anyone I know that has a daughter/daughters to do themselves a favor and enroll your daughter in Girls Inc., you will never regret it. Girls Inc. has a huge piece of my heart.”
