My career in the electronics recycling industry is a vehicle to fund my passion. Yes, it excites me to have a profession that reduces e-waste and creates a more sustainable planet. But my true passion is giving back to my community and putting technology in the hands of people who are less fortunate. I was born to a teenage mother who raised me in public housing, so I understand the importance of business leaders doing charitable work. I was once a recipient of such generosity, and I am incredibly honored to be in a position to pay it forward. I feel it is my duty to do so.
Technology changed my life and I am hoping it can do the same for others. My “day job” at S3 comes with the awesome perk of providing resources to those who need a helping hand. S3 has supported numerous individuals and charitable organizations with financial resources, volunteer hours, and donated technology and supplies. Everything from strengthening the literacy of at risk children by donating iPads to grooming the next generation of leaders through mentoring, S3 takes a proactive approach to doing good. A spirit of servant leadership and service permeates throughout our organization. It’s a company value that is actively displayed with events and opportunities for all team members to participate. So, I have even more motivation to do well in business so that I can do good for my community. I believe that finding a way to live your passion is a key component to longevity and happiness, and I wish that for everyone.
