She has worked with media professionals from Los Angeles to Jakarta, developed multi-lingual websites, and engaged online communities to create awareness about numerous development and human rights issues.

It identifies, educates, registers, and certifies women’s business enterprises based outside of the U.S. that are at least 51% owned, managed, and controlled by one or more women, and then connects them with multinational corporate buyers.
