Annette (she/her/hers) joined Social Innovation Forum as a Program Coordinator in November 2025. In collaboration with the Director of Network Engagement, she provides programmatic and administrative support to the Alumni and Nonprofit Network program which serves over 250 nonprofits in Eastern Massachusetts. Annette is eager to serve the nonprofit community with the long-term commitment to eliminating the systemic barriers that often hinder the success of individuals from marginalized communities.
Annette’s upbringing, as a first-generation Haitian-American raised in Greater Boston, has profoundly shaped her interest in advocacy and education. Annette earned her Bachelor of Science in English Education from Boston University, developing a passion for creating inclusive educational environments that would propel individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to become successful in their respective fields. Annette hopes to continue building her expertise in this area to support SIF’s nonprofit organizations that are addressing issues specifically related to educational equity, workforce development, and fostering racial diversity, equity, and inclusion. Outside of work, you can find Annette curled up with a good book, planning her next vacation, or spending time with her family.
