It was always Kate’s intent in college to work for a non-profit organization and impact her community in some way. After graduating from Meredith College with Bachelor’s Degree in History and International Politics, necessity led Kate to start a career in retail. She quickly advanced through the positions of operations manager, area sales manager, assistant store manager and eventually Store manager.

While her retail career gave Kate valuable experience in both leadership and client relations, her desire to contribute to the community still went unfulfilled.

After over 20 years as a retail store manager, Kate decided to follow her heart and began volunteering at the Women’s Resource Center in Alamance County, where she answered phones and provided office support. After a few months Kate was offered a position as the Community Outreach Coordinator. She works with Graphic Design, Marketing, Donor Engagement, and volunteer coordination. A short eighteen months later, Kate was promoted to her current position as Associate Director.

As a child of a creative parent, Kate enjoys spending her spare time stretching her creative legs as an amateur photographer, over-estimating DIY’er, unsuccessful backyard gardener, and budget-conscious traveler.

As the daughter of an immigrant, Caroline has been a lifelong advocate for others, a trait she cultivated from an early age. Breaking barriers, she became the first person in her family to achieve a college degree, graduating with a Business degree from Georgia State University.
Caroline’s journey took a global turn when she interned on a project facilitated by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. Her role focused on assisting African countries in establishing successful and self-sustainable businesses. Transitioning to the private sector, she served as a Regional Manager and later as a National Key Account Manager for Coastal/Dupont. Subsequently, she assumed the role of Director of Sales and Marketing for an international training company.
In 2019, Caroline faced an environmental injustice situation in her community, compelling her to co-found a non-profit dedicated to fighting for Title 6 rights. Their collective efforts took the battle to Washington DC and resulted in a victory. This pivotal experience inspired Caroline to harness both her life struggles and business acumen for a greater purpose: assisting and empowering others.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Caroline finds joy in spending time with her niece’s family. Her diverse interests include beach outings, immersing herself in a good book, restoring furniture, leisurely walks, nurturing her garden, and exploring less-traveled destinations.
