About our Founder
🌟 Passion for Impact
Raised in inner-city Saginaw, Michigan, I turned ambition and mentor connections into a full tuition scholarship to the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Now, as a Social Impact Leader, I'm molding the next generation of public service leaders across the nation.
Passionate about leveraging social capital, I connect ambitious professionals to opportunities that will help them level up in life, love, and career.
🗽 My NYC Journey
Arriving in NYC in 2017, I faced the challenge of building meaningful connections. Now, I curate a list of the best NYC networking events to expedite this process for you.
💡Why I Started LEVELUP in NYC
After facing a layoff in early 2023, I activated my network, landed my dream job in Social Impact, and realized the need to help others do the same.
🔗 LEVELUP in NYC's Birth
Starting on Instagram (@LEVELUPinNYC) in February 2023, we quickly grew into a thriving community with over 800+ email subscribers in the first few months. LEVELUP in NYC recognizes our collective power, emphasizing the belief that one relationship can lead to your next big opportunity. 🎉
