What inspired you to start volunteering with PMI-SAC?

For me, volunteering is about impact! The difference we make through the people we support and the communities we strengthen. I joined PMI-SAC because I wanted to give back to the project management profession that has shaped my growth. I was inspired by the opportunity to collaborate with forward-thinking leaders, exchange innovative ideas, and contribute to a community that values excellence and continuous improvement.

What’s something most people don’t know about your role at PMI-SAC?

Behind every successful volunteer experience is intentional onboarding and thoughtful connection. As an On-Boarding Specialist in Volunteer Management, I help create that foundation. My role goes beyond processes and documentation, it’s about shaping first impressions, building confidence, and empowering volunteers to see the value they bring. When someone feels supported and inspired from day one, that’s where true engagement begins.

How does volunteering at PMI-SAC connect to or enhance your professional life?

In the healthcare sector, leadership requires clarity, adaptability, and heart. Volunteering with PMI-SAC strengthens those same competencies in a dynamic, collaborative environment. It sharpens my strategic thinking, deepens my communication skills, and expands my professional network. The cross-industry perspective I gain enhances my ability to lead with both structure and empathy.

What do you enjoy most about being part of the volunteer community?

The shared ambition. The generosity of knowledge. The collective drive to boost one another. Being part of this community reminds me that leadership is not a title, it’s ACTION. It’s incredibly fulfilling to contribute to an environment where professionals are committed to growth, innovation, and meaningful impact.

For someone thinking about volunteering but unsure where to start, what would you say?

Your voice, your skills, and your perspective matter. Don’t wait until you feel “ready.” Growth happens in motion. Volunteering with PMI-SAC is an investment in yourself! To grow your confidence, your network, and empower your leadership journey. Take the first step, and trust that you will rise to meet the opportunity.
