Amy Sylvester-Omorodion

I have experience working in roles centered around mentoring, education, leadership, and community engagement. Through tutoring and mentoring, I’ve supported students in building confidence and understanding academic material, while my fundraising and outreach work has strengthened my communication and relationship-building skills. I have also taken on leadership and coordination responsibilities that required organization, teamwork, and initiative.

Overall, my work reflects a strong passion for supporting children’s development and contributing to spaces that uplift and empower individuals, particularly within healthcare and women-focused communities.
