“I helped launch our first Workplace Mentoring Program at BBBSMB (Big Brothers Big Sisters of Massachusetts Bay), connecting Boston elementary school students with adult mentors in the workforce.  Children are able to visit mentors at their places of employment, gaining exposure to the work environment and local Boston businesses.  I now oversee several unique Workplace Mentoring Programs, which also provide Boston professionals with an opportunity to form deeper connections to their own community.  Not only are the individual relationships being formed, but new partnerships between local Boston schools and businesses are expanding an awareness of and connection to the community.   Having a social work background, BBBSMB has provided me with the unique opportunity to create trainings and develop learning materials to increase the expertise of our staff and in turn, provide our matches with the best possible support.”
