View Bio
At LIFT-The Bronx, Betty is responsible for the management of operations, including program development and implementation, client service delivery, supervision of AmeriCorps staff members, and oversight of volunteer management and training of university students and interns. She works with the team to set annual strategic goals and conducts performance evaluation activities.
She serves as a spokesperson and advocate for LIFT-The Bronx in the community to create and strengthen partnerships with a diverse array of constituent groups, including human service providers, university partners and government agencies; and in the media to increase visibility and brand awareness. She assists in representing the New York Region of LIFT at development and policy meetings.
Betty LIFTs because she finds LIFT’s mission and strengths-based model very much in sync with her commitment to social justice and her values as a social worker.
Betty comes to LIFT after a 36 year career with the federal government in the Department of Veterans Affairs. She worked in three VA medical centers in the New York metropolitan area, serving in a wide variety of clinical, administrative and management positions. She holds an MSW from Columbia University and an MS from New York University.
