Kupuna At A Glance

Founder: Carolina Sokolowski

My passion is to create something extraordinary out of nothing.

“Believe, create and grow”: This was the mindset I was taught from my family and for many school years, led by a community focused on authenticity, creativity, and confidence. There I got the motivation to start cultivating opportunities for the people I love, the world I live in, and the dreams I accumulate.

Throughout my career I have been rewarded with a handful of beautiful experiences leading me to grow within my community, my work and internationally. My experience and strengths include:
* Research Methods & Data Collection.
* Experience in Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers.
*Strategic Planning & Problem solving.

I have 6 years of experience creating Community Health Programs and currently work in a non-profit organization as a supervisor of Wellness Center's and Program Manager for the Women's Health Department. My interests revolve around Program Development (co-inquiry, learning & iterating), Global Health, aging and strategies to optimize health system’s performance.
