Opportunity: Business & Politics

Elected Official - Wakanda ✊🏽 (City of South Fulton)

A healthcare industry leader dedicated to increasing access to quality services for seniors. As the Cultural and Community Affairs Manager at ChenMed, she has launched a range of wellness programs for Atlanta area seniors, including pop up dental clinics, salons and farmers markets and other initiatives. Her efforts have emphasized the importance of health education among adults age 55 and older. And she is successfully helping metro area seniors take more ownership over their health, prioritize prevention, and choose a deeper commitment to their wellness over steady decline.

Her initiatives have demonstrated the importance of the business community’s investment in local seniors and their health. She has orchestrated critical partnerships to not only amplify the services and resources that ChenMed is able to provide locally, but also drive awareness among the business community of Atlanta’s seniors’ unique needs.

She has leveraged her background in social work and government affairs to strengthen public-private ties for the benefit of local communities, and model effective programming for aging populations. But most importantly, she continues to enrich the individual lives of the seniors that she helps, making the members of one of our city’s most vulnerable populations feel protected, supported and appreciated.

Also a dedicated public servant who serves as a Councilmember in the City of South Fulton. The pandemic has not dampened her commitment to community service, as she has routinely helped to ensure that seniors have access to food and other supplies while they sheltered in place.

She is the winner of multiple awards and routinely is a featured guest speaker, sharing her knowledge with other professionals. She was recently recognized by State Representative Sharon Beasley Teague for her outstanding public service and her vital role and leadership in ensuring the welfare of the citizens of Georgia.
