With a passion for cultivating confident young leaders, she designs programs that nurture identity, leadership, creativity, and community connection for girls across South Florida.

GIRLS CLUB AT A GLANCE
Girls Club provides mentorship, enrichment, and exposure-based learning experiences for girls ages 9 to 18 from underserved communities.
Meeting on Saturdays throughout the school year, our sessions help girls explore their creativity, leadership, and confidence through hands-on activities such as culinary classes, entrepreneurial workshops, museum visits, and our signature Girls Leadership Conference.
​
What began in March 2021 with just five girls has now blossomed into a thriving community that has positively impacted more than 75 young leaders, each learning to dream bigger, lead boldly, and uplift others along the way.
