I have been an ACCESS FOR WOMEN Role Model, lecturer and instructor for over 15 years. I have spoken before groups of 30 to 3000 on the benefits of women taking on non-traditional roles. I have taught with Junior Achievement
for over eight years (for Brooklyn Union) and have received recognition for my
outstanding contributions towards the education of young children and teens (Junior Achievement's Outstanding Achievement Award in 1997). I have been an instructor for the New York City Summer Youth Program, the Open Doors Program, and Gear Up for Success, another non-profit program that provides instruction to young teens right here in downtown Brooklyn when I was in college. I am a life member and a former member of the Board of Directors for the Brooklyn Technical High School Alumni Association.

I currently am a "Role Model" Speaker for African American Role Models dot.
com, and a member of Women For Hire, Downtown Women's Network, and LatinaPAC.

My activities and civic duties have brought me many experiences; one being chosen to meet President Bill Clinton in 1992 during his visit to the downtown Brooklyn Colleges for a
forum on education. I have testified on the importance of expanding the sciences and technology field to include women and minorities before the NYS Legislature and NYC Council as well as have devoted the last decade to advocating for the rights of parents whose children attend the NYC Public School System by creating online networks for parents and teaching them how to connect to the internet.
