Executive Director, Community Services Center

Why This Work Matters

“I’ve always believed that transformation is not just about strategy—it’s about people. I came to the Center because I saw an opportunity to build something truly meaningful: a space where people from all walks of life—especially those navigating international transitions—can feel at home, find support, and grow stronger together.”

“This work is personal to me. Having moved abroad at 14, I understand what it means to adapt, to feel alone, and to search for connection in a foreign place. Today, I’m proud to be part of a team that helps others find belonging, strength, and community.

From First Violin to First Chair in Leadership

Cammi’s leadership journey began in music. As the first violinist in a highly regarded music school orchestra, she led national tours, won numerous awards, and was honored to become the first private student of the late Professor Eudice Shapiro, a legendary violinist at the University of Southern California. At just 14, Cammi moved abroad to pursue music and live with her eldest sister, developing resilience, independence, and cultural adaptability early in life.

She holds a degree in International Business with a concentration in French, reflecting her long-standing interest in cross-cultural understanding and global communication. Cammi has also pursued studies in psychology, combining strategic thinking with deep empathy to drive impactful change across industries and cultures.
