Why I'm Fundraising
I'm excited to be nominated for Go Red for Women's Woman of Impact campaign. As part of this year's class of changemakers, I've brought together a team that's working to make the greatest impact possible on women's health. We will be raising much-needed funds for the American Heart Association and working to improve the health of our communities. I hope we can count on your support!
In 2004, Go Red For Women was born as a campaign to raise awareness among women about their greatest health threat — heart disease. Slowly, the campaign grew into a movement bringing together thousands of women. Go Red for Women is the trusted, passionate force for change. It provides a platform for women and their families to lead healthier lives and transform communities. It's not just about wearing red. It's not just about sharing heart-health facts. It's about:
- Providing opportunities for women to take charge of their health
- Building communities that support access to healthy choices
- Demanding equal access to health care for all women and their families
- Increasing women in STEM in upcoming generations
Our team is focused on preventing heart disease and stroke. We're promoting healthy lifestyles, building awareness and raising critically-needed funds to support research and education initiatives. Cardiovascular diseases, which include heart disease and stroke, claim the life of a woman about every 80 seconds. We hope you will join us on our mission because about 80% of these diseases may be prevented.
The time is now. Women are leaning into the idea that when we take a stand, commit, and work together, real change is possible. To support my campaign, click on the Donate to Nominee button below.

As part of this year's nationwide class of changemakers, I've brought together a team that's working to make the greatest impact possible on women's heart health.

As Head of Wealth Management Health and Wellness Education at Morgan Stanley, I help families understand how everyday choices and access to comprehensive care shape long-term health outcomes—especially for women, whose medical conditions are too often overlooked.
Throughout my career, I have remained grounded in service and committed to giving back to the communities I support. I have been honored to serve as a judge for the Morgan Stanley Innovation Awards, which provides mentorship to startups focused on youth health. I was also appointed executive sponsor of the Morgan Stanley HBCU Scholars Program, which awards scholarships and academic support to underprivileged students.
I am honored to extend my impact beyond the emergency room and alongside the American Heart Association’s Women of Impact campaign. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among American women, yet their warning signs are underdiagnosed, misunderstood, or simply dismissed. I am proud to support a movement that highlights women’s unique risk factors and champions a more equitable, healthier future for all.
