Celia has over 30 years of experience in financial services technology and software sales, but her passion is giving back to the communities she lives in. Her inspiration for giving back, is her Mom, who was a WW2 army nurse and volunteered well into her 90s. In her 20s, while living in NYC, Celia and a group of her sorority alum started working with the children and families of a community garden in East Harlem– the mutual positive impact of that experience was amazing. While living in San Francisco, Celia founded Community Karma and supported many local Bay Area programs. Celia returned to NJ in 2015 and has called Asbury Park home ever since. Upon arriving, she immediately connected with the Asbury Park Toy Drive and Connie Breech; Celia was inspired by the generosity of the Asbury Park community. Motivated by the legacy of the Asbury Park Toy Drive, Celia, and Community Karma, hope to continue the spirit of giving and generosity in Asbury.
