Board Member since 2023
What made you decide to join the Board of Directors of Mosaic?
Throughout my professional career, I was introduced to the concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion. As I continued to learn more about it, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Central Wisconsin already had a dedicated group focused on IDEA+B. My first experience was attending the Connecting Communities conference, and it immediately sparked my interest in getting more involved. The board members spoke with such passion and authenticity, and their genuine desire to create a community where everyone, regardless of background, feels included was inspiring. These are the people I want to surround myself with.
What part of the mission are you most passionate about?
I am deeply passionate about Mosaic’s mission to raise awareness through educational series. These initiatives create understanding, paving the way for acceptance of others, no matter their background. By promoting empathy and knowledge, they break down barriers and help build more inclusive communities. I believe this approach can lead to meaningful change, creating a world where diversity is celebrated and respected.
What is your favorite part of serving on the Board of Directors?
Everyone that has played a part in keeping the organization going, whether it be board members, volunteers, or event participants, does so because they truly understand the value of fostering an inclusive community. These are the rewarding motivations that drive us to keep moving forward.
