Carine Pierre joined the Room to Grow team in August 2021. Her desire to make a meaningful impact on the world around her led her to this position as an Operations Assistant.

Prior to that, she worked predominantly in the customer service sector in a variety of organizations — most notably, 311, New York City’s main source of government information and non-emergency services. She also enjoys volunteering with New York Cares when time permits, as well as exploring various green spaces and gardens throughout the city.
