“My United Way involvement runs deep, similar to United Way’s deep rooted community efforts in Miami for many decades. I believe in giving back to a community that has given so much to me and my family and United Way’s vision and implementation make such an impact that no one person could do alone. I know that giving with United Way, we truly can make a stronger Miami.”

“Community involvement and volunteering has always been an important aspect of my life and after moving to Miami ten years ago and first learning about the incredible work that the United Way does through my employee giving campaign, I decided to get involved. In this time of rapid transformation in Miami, the United Way’s mission is more important now than ever before. I’m honored to serve alongside our executive committee and the hundreds of like-minded Young Leaders as we work together to make a lasting impact and build a stronger Miami for our entire community.”
