The last event was a great learning experience and I will be taking away many valuable bits of knowledge. I think that the events goal of connecting students with professionals in the industry was a success, I met many nice and intelligent individuals who I have been emailing. I hope there are many more of those type of networking events in the future, not necessarily for myself but for those in a similar situation as I am currently in.

I’m thrilled to be part of the ACG Cares – NY Chapter Board. The goal of providing assistance to college and graduate students from a range of social backgrounds who are interested in a business career find their first job, is not only attractive but affords me the ability to “give back to the ACG Community” by sharing my business contacts and relationships within the Middle Market. 

Developing networking skills is something that isn’t generally taught in a classroom setting, so with the creation of ACG Cares we are able to provide a unique forum for established executives to assist college graduates in learning how to build relationships that will not only help them land their first job, but help them throughout their careers.

It has been an exciting journey serving as co-chair of the ACG Cup and now board member of ACG Cares. We have expanded so much over the last four years while adding the mentor and scholars program. As a woman owned business, I love being part of a mission focused on bringing diversity to the middle market and supporting young talent entering the workforce.

I have been honored to be involved with ACG Cares since its inception and provided the pro bono legal services necessary to launch the organization.   Being involved with ACG New York and the middle market private capital ecosystem generally for many years and reaping the many benefits that networking in this community provides, it has been extremely gratifying be able to assist our smart and driven ACG Scholars in advancing their careers.
