Had a great time at the Charles River Regional Chamber Family Feud Trivia Night at Paddy’s Pub the other night! While I may not be a trivia expert, our team was proud to avoid coming in last place. More importantly, we had a blast, sharing laughs and great conversations. It’s always great connecting with fellow Chamber members. Looking forward to the next event!

I am thrilled to share that I’ve joined the Ellie Fund as the Director of Development!? The Ellie Fund is an incredible organization that provides essential support services to breast cancer patients. We help ease the stresses of everyday life so they can focus on what truly matters: family, recovery, and healing. Our services include grocery gift cards, prepared meals, transportation to medical appointments, childcare reimbursement, housekeeping, and integrative therapy services—all provided as grants at no cost to the patients. I am excited to be part of a dynamic team that is profoundly impacting the lives of breast cancer patients in Massachusetts and those traveling to the state for care. This mission is close to my heart, and I look forward to contributing to its continued success and growth. I can’t wait to connect with my network and explore new opportunities for collaboration, partnerships, and support to further our cause. Thank you for your continued support – here’s to making a difference, one life at a time! ?? #NewJob #EllieFund #DirectorOfDevelopment #BreastCancerSupport #Nonprofit #MakingADifference #Grateful #Excited

The next time you're debating whether to go to that networking event - STOP THINKING AND DO IT? I met Jia Li several years ago at a Charles River Regional Chamber event. I was immediately drawn to the look of his brand. The sleek font, unique symbol, and smooth name had a ring to it that gave me the impression that there was talent behind this company. I was so intrigued to learn that PhyziX provides Holistic Physiotherapy in Needham, MA ?? At the time, I did not think I could work with Jia Li unless I needed physical therapy. But life has a way of keeping you connected with the right people. As the years went by, I ended up building a wellness center (Modern Wellness Longevity Spa), and have since collaborated with Jia Li's practice at several of their events, and we recently filmed a podcast together! ?? (listen here if you'd like: https://lnkd.in/eEyngKH9) You really never know what future opportunity, no matter how far down the road, may come about from attending that networking event after work. Tag someone below that you're grateful to have met at a networking event ?? #Rippleeffect
