She has been instrumental in the launch of not one, but two, employee resource groups for African Americans at BD as well as served as an influencer on the Surgery Inclusion & Diversity Council. Her membership on the council led to the execution of expanding BD’s reach into diverse partnerships in effort of providing more inclusive recruiting channels, like the National Sales Network.
