Hi there!
I'm Donette (pronounced don-et). I work at the intersection of public policy, strategic communications, and community engagement. Currently, I am a Senior Public Affairs Specialist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In the past, I have written policies and grants, digitized health records, and collaborated with multidisciplinary professionals to address pressing issues.
Beyond work, I am a believer, wife, mother, friend, and traveler. My most cherished experiences include:
Strength training with Nike Master Trainer, Betina Gozo
Dining at Michelin-starred Cloverhill Brooklyn
Climbing an active volcano in the Andes Mountains
Overall, I love doing meaningful work, and I believe having fun along the way makes life even better!

“Seize life! Eat bread with gusto. Drink wine with a robust heart. Oh yes - God takes pleasure in your pleasure! Dress festively every morning. Don’t skimp on colors and scarves. Relish life with the spouse you love. Make the most of each day! Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in the abode of the dead.”
— Book of Ecclesiastes
