Christine Troyano – Connector and Advocate for Economic Empowerment

I am passionate about connecting individuals from marginalized communities to meaningful employment, essential services, and opportunities that improve their quality of life. With a background in social service and ESL teaching, I’ve dedicated my career to empowering people to overcome barriers and find fulfillment through work and resources that support their well-being.

Currently, I’m transitioning into economic and workforce development, where I hope to apply my skills on a global scale. I thrive in roles that allow me to make a direct impact by helping individuals access critical services and opportunities. My work style combines independence and collaboration, and I’m detail-oriented, organized, and focused on driving results.

My goal is to continue advocating for and supporting individuals in need, helping them access the opportunities that will enable them to thrive.

My experience in connecting individuals to services could be valuable in scaling effective programs.
