What is it like doing CSR in New York City? A fantastic foundation before settling into Corporate Social Responsibility at Capital One! 3. I quickly took the GRE, changed majors to receive my MPA while working in the Office of Emergency Management in a nearby town, and then moved on to run an Environmental Nonprofit. So, off I went to start my MBA, and once again, realized I wasn’t following my passions. About ten minutes into the interview, I had this jaw-dropping moment that my degree and passions could go hand in hand after all! I landed my first Corporate Social Responsibility job in Dallas, TX and was all set, off to change the world…until a year and a half later when my department was let go.
Then, I woke up to an email one day encouraging me to take an interview with a local business. When I described my dream job and what I wanted to do with my life, it didn’t match up with my classmates. The problem was, I wasn’t interested in anyone that was hiring. When I was in High School and College, I worked at just about every YMCA that would let me, followed by an after-school program that surprisingly didn’t scare me away from having kids! When I was nearing the end of getting my business degree, my college counselor started helping me navigate the waters of an internship to make my transition into the business world a smooth one after graduation. Most of my time is spent at the intersection of community need and corporate ability…and when those two align, it’s magical! 2. Very interesting, how’d you get started?īy being honest about what motivated me and what didn’t. Other days I’m having coffee with my Capital One associates, listening to how I can help support their passions, mainly through our Future Edge initiative that helps people in our communities get ready for the 21 st century economy. Each day looks and feels a little bit different, which I love! Some days I’m bouncing all over the Northeast via taxi, subway and train, meeting with nonprofit organizations and seeing their community needs firsthand. I am responsible for managing a diverse philanthropic portfolio for Capital One in New York City.
