Hi, I'm Manda!
I’m a results-oriented professional with experience across a variety of industries, including healthcare, defense, finance, and tech. Some of my most rewarding experiences have come from working in fast-paced startup environments, where I’ve had the chance to be resourceful and creative. I thrive on finding operational improvements, documenting them, and using that knowledge to break down silos and improve efficiency.
Throughout my career, I’ve built strong relationships with teams, clients and consultants, showcasing my ability to collaborate across different roles and industries.
Simply put, I am a people-centric professional committed to making a positive impact on individuals' professional lives!

The Daughter of an Immigrant
I could not possibly introduce myself without also introducing you to the most influential person in my life, my Dad.
My Dad’s strong work ethic rubbed off on me early in life. Being the child of an immigrant, you are often witness to your parent(s) working twice as hard for half as much, and staying strong in the face of adversity.
Being a first-generation American means inheriting my father's strong work ethic while embracing a "reach for the stars" attitude and belief in the American dream. I believe that anything is possible and that everyone is deserving of every opportunity.

GRL MOM
The world has changed a lot since I was a little girl. As a mother, I try to equip my daughters with the right tools and knowledge to grow and thrive in this crazy, image-focused world.
As a mother, my main objective is to raise my daughters (AKA “feMINIsts”) to be women who think for themselves and stand up for what is right-speaking up for people in marginalized groups.
In our home, we have conversations that challenge gender norms, promote equality and social justice and make mental health check-ins a part of our daily routine.
