• Impact Director

  • Nov 2020 - Present

  Externally, I work with grassroots community partners that fulfill Eaton Workshop’s mission to further environmental and social impact within our Washington, DC community. I do this through event curation and management, as well as program production for timely and relevant cultural activations. Internally, I work with our 110+ staff in fulfilling Eaton Workshop's commitment to the Triple Bottom Line (People, Planet, Profit). I do this by managing the property's sustainability work, and all of our DEI initiatives. I design and facilitate trainings, hire outside contractors, collect data for third-party certifications, and track our progress through surveys and KPIs. Eaton's Impact work sets it apart as an innovator in the hospitality space and honors the organization's commitment to mission-driven hospitality. Show less
