I first started volunteering in 2004 because I was intrigued by the Minerva Foundation’s mission to inspire and empower girls and women to reach their full potential in life. What I discovered was that when women connect with each other for a purpose, they have the power to make things happen and to change lives. Through my continued involvement, not only have I been able to make a positive difference for other women, my own life has been immeasurably enriched by the women and girls I’ve met through the Foundation.
