Michael K. Dawson will share strategies Innovators for Purpose (iFp) has deployed over the past 7 years inspiring high-potential diverse youth, especially those underrepresented in the Design & STEM fields, to discover their passions, develop innovative mindsets and cultivate critical skills to make the difference they want to see in the world.

iFp’s most recent project This Should Not Be. will serve as a case study for talk. The groundbreaking augmented reality installation inspired by George Floyd's murder illustrates the ingenuity, creativity and ambition of Cambridge’s underrepresented youth when presented with opportunity. This Should Not Be. is currently on exhibit on the Cambridge Public Library’s lawn.

Gaby has held Front Office/Guest Services leadership positions at various luxury hotels in Miami, Boston, New York City, South Beach, and W Miami. Gaby also practiced hospitality in the travel/tourism space as a Business Development Manager at Excursionist, an ultra-luxe DMC focusing on travel in the US, Canada and the Caribbean.

She is a graduate of Boston University and University of Florida, earning her Bachelor of Science in Hospitality and subsequently her Master of Business Administration in International Business. She absolutely loves watching musical theater and has a passion for Disney World!

Our annual fundraiser - Chalk on the Walk had to be cancelled this year in May. So we decided to go virtual. Thank you to all the talented artists who participated! We raised approximately $17,000.
