Last Friday, I had an incredibly rewarding experience giving back at a local nonprofit, Books For Africa! It was truly fulfilling to support access to books and reading, recognizing the profound impact it has on education and children's futures. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to co-lead this event alongside my colleagues Jenina John and Varda Lobanov bringing together members of Cisco’s Operations and CX teams! Looking forward to organizing more opportunities to make a positive impact in the Atlanta community and beyond! #WeAreCisco #LoveWhereYouWork #GlobalWeekofGivingBack #CiscoCSR #YouthandEducation #communityImpact #Givingback #CSR #SupplyChainStrong #ATL
