Arin directs LBBC's strategy for engagement and outreach for under-resourced and special populations, healthcare providers, and volunteers. Passionate about health issues and health equity, her work centers on reaching often overlooked and under-resourced special populations, including young women, women of color, and those with metastatic disease.
Among her roles, Arin manages LBBC's Young Women's Initiative, which provides educational programs, resources, and support services to women diagnosed with breast cancer before age 45 and educational offerings to healthcare providers who serve this unique patient population.
Arin is an experienced nonprofit program director with 17 years of experience developing, implementing and evaluating public health programming for under-resourced populations.
She is living a dual city and country life by living in West Philadelphia and rural Maryland, with her husband and young son.
The most inspiring part of my job is helping to create virtual and in-person spaces for people to connect, learn about breast cancer, and feel less alone.
