Built on Care. Driven by Purpose.
A Community That Cares, A Chapter That Leads.
My journey with PMI Carolina began in 2019, when I had just moved from Brazil and was looking for connection, growth, and a sense of belonging. I found all of that — and more — in this chapter.
I began my service as a Social Media Chair, learning how to listen to our community and communicate in ways that truly resonate with our members. In 2020, as Product Owner for the chapter website, I had the opportunity to work closely with the Board of Directors to improve how we engage, inform, and serve our members. These experiences taught me that strong chapters are built through collaboration and intentional communication.
My passion for people led me to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in 2021, first as a DEI Chair, and later, in 2023, as DEI Director. Through this work, I learned about the importance of empathy, representation, and social impact — and how powerful it is when a chapter truly reflects the diversity of its community.
In 2025, I stepped into the role of Vice President of Membership, where my focus became bringing people together and growing our chapter by clearly demonstrating the value of PMI Carolina. This role reinforces a simple truth: when people feel cared for, they engage — and when they engage, communities thrive.
Each role prepared me for this moment. Each experience reinforced my belief in people's first leadership.
As President, my commitment is to continue leading PMI Carolina with care and purpose — supporting our members, empowering our volunteers, and building a chapter where everyone feels valued and inspired to lead.
Thank you for trusting me with this responsibility. I am honored to serve alongside you.
With gratitude,
Mariana Morini, PMP
