      Educated corporations on responsibility and community engagement allows them to provide working, learning, and growth opportunities for all stakeholders and to promote positive company-wide cultural change. Aligned values between stakeholders and corporate mission benefits the bottom line by creating cost savings, increased marketing opportunities, customer loyalty, and reinforced employee engagement. Cultural change comes from strategic planning based on extensive data analysis. The B Corp Certification framework by B Lab delivers a comprehensive impact assessment process for evaluating current and potential business impact. My team utilized that information to create opportunities for corporations to evolve. Some key successes are: --Pioneered business certification, internal and external communication plans, policy changes, and cultural change for 15 organizations based on extensive impact assessment. --Served as responsibility guru, delivering Build a Better Business workshops for over 150 people. --Instructed and certified 3 companies in B Corp, creating and implementing organizational policies to further philanthropic and carbon footprint-minimizing initiatives.

      As a Corps Member I fulfilled multiple roles including Corps Member, Young Heroes Group Leader to our Saturday service learning program, Civic Engagement Ambassador, Camps Director to our spring break camps program, and CyMentor, accumulating 2,000+ service hours. Interacting with CYP corporate partnerships, I developed a unique understanding of how businesses can provide resources, beyond monetary contributions, to help the community.
