Action Speaks is Ingka’s global storytelling platform that showcases real examples of climate action, circularity, and community impact across IKEA and its partners. The exhibit at New York Climate Week was designed to spark dialogue, inspire collaboration, and demonstrate how everyday actions at scale can help create a more sustainable future.
During Climate Week, I supported the execution of the Action Speaks exhibit by coordinating closely with colleagues in Sweden, leading the cross-functional U.S. team, and managing the complex logistics required to bring the space to life.
I lead the design and execution of IKEA U.S.'s flagship sustainability forum, One Home, One Planet, bringing together global leaders, national partners, and co‑workers to accelerate climate action and circularity. I support the cross‑functional coordination, speaker selection and preparation, narrative development, and on‑the‑ground experience design to ensure the event inspires engagement, strengthens partnerships, and translates global sustainability commitments into meaningful local action.
Ride for Kids is the nation’s longest‑running charity motorcycle ride, benefiting the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and supporting children and families facing one of the deadliest childhood cancers. The event unites riders, volunteers, and partners to raise critical funds for research, family support programs, and survivorship initiatives.
At Comoto, I transformed Ride for Kids into a flagship cause‑marketing and community engagement program. I built cross‑brand alignment, secured vendor partnerships, and mobilized employees and customers nationwide, raising $500K in two years and generating an additional $100K in sponsorships. I led end‑to‑end planning, communications, and on‑the‑ground activation, turning the event into a powerful expression of Comoto’s mission, culture, and commitment to giving back.
RevZilla’s partnership with Taggart Elementary School was designed to strengthen educational equity in South Philadelphia by connecting students with resources, mentorship, and hands‑on learning experiences. The initiative supported classroom needs, enhanced student engagement, and built meaningful relationships between RevZilla employees and the school community.
I launched and led the partnership end‑to‑end, building the relationship with school leadership, identifying high‑impact opportunities, coordinating volunteer engagement, and mobilizing employees across the company. I developed programming that ranged from classroom support to school‑wide events, ensuring the partnership was consistent, responsive, and rooted in the needs of Taggart’s students and educators. The result was a sustainable, values‑aligned community initiative that deepened RevZilla’s local impact and gave employees a tangible way to contribute to the neighborhood we served.
The Greater Philadelphia Corporate Volunteer Council is a regional coalition of companies committed to strengthening corporate citizenship, advancing employee volunteerism, and deepening nonprofit partnerships across the Philadelphia area. The council brings together CSR, HR, DEI, and community impact leaders to share best practices, collaborate on regional initiatives, and elevate the role of business in driving social impact.
As a council leader, I guided the GPCVC through a pivotal period of transition and growth, steering its move from United Way to the Philadelphia Foundation, shaping strategic direction, and strengthening member engagement. I led the shift from in‑person to virtual programming during the pandemic, sustaining a robust cadence of events, newsletters, and peer learning while increasing membership by 20%. My work helped position the GPCVC as a regional force for corporate volunteerism, culminating in its recognition as the 2021 Corporate Volunteer Council of the Year by Points of Light.
Comoto’s motorcycle‑related charity partnerships connected riders, brands, and nonprofit organizations to advance safety, community support, and industry‑wide impact. These relationships spanned youth programs, rider safety initiatives, veteran support organizations, and disease‑focused fundraising efforts—strengthening the social fabric of the riding community while aligning with Comoto’s mission to serve all who love the ride.
I cultivated and expanded these partnerships by building trust with nonprofit leaders, aligning programs with business and community goals, and mobilizing employees, customers, and vendors around shared impact. I managed funding, volunteer engagement, and cause‑marketing activations, ensuring each partnership delivered meaningful support and visible community value. My work helped position Comoto as a committed, long‑term partner to the riding community and elevated the company’s reputation as a purpose‑driven industry leader.
