What brought you to PACT, and what’s your favorite part of working here?
I first joined PACT through a temporary position focused on event planning, and I quickly realized how impactful the organization is in fostering innovation and growth in the region. My favorite part of working at PACT is being surrounded by a passionate community that’s dedicated to helping entrepreneurs succeed—it’s inspiring to see the tangible impact we make.
How does your role at PACT help make an impact on the Philly tech and healthcare scene?
Through Mentor Connect, I help grow the entrepreneurial community by connecting early-stage startups with seasoned executives who share their knowledge and expertise. This mentorship not only supports the development of individual businesses but also strengthens the overall ecosystem by fostering collaboration and innovation in the tech and healthcare industries.
Which PACT event do you look forward to the most, and why should members check it out?
The Mid-Atlantic Capital Conference is my favorite event because it’s an incredible opportunity to see the latest and most exciting companies in the region showcase their innovations. It’s a must-attend for anyone interested in learning about groundbreaking startups and networking with the people driving change in the tech and healthcare sectors.
What’s a recent project or success at PACT that you’re really excited about?
One of the proudest moments in Mentor Connect has been seeing a mentee in our program grow their business and return as a mentor to guide the next generation of entrepreneurs. It’s a full-circle success story that highlights the power of mentorship and the value of our community.
When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?
When I’m not working, you’ll find me relaxing at the beach with my family and friends. There’s nothing better than the ocean, good company, and a little downtime to recharge.W
