environment began during her college years when she spent time in Latin America working in refugee camps, orphanages, prisons and shantytowns. She has since been engaged in innumerable activities to benefit many causes, both local and global, and has involved her family, students, and colleagues. At Pace University she introduced a mandatory service component into the curriculum, participated in ongoing projects benefiting the Westchester Women’s Shelter, led Earth Month activities, and co-founded the Peace and Justice Committee. She also volunteers for Jua, a nonprofit organization providing solar lighting to rural Kenyan schools. This summer, she’ll travel to Kenya with her family to work with Orphans International and Jua.
