Meet LINC’s DEI Program Manager, Krissi Echevarria! Krissi has been with LINC since July, 2022. She started with LINC, serving relocating Young Professionals and nurses, as a Client Services Specialist. Krissi now serves as our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Program Manager, working to connect our DEI Community members with relevant resources and events to promote inclusion and belonging in Lehigh Valley businesses.
What brings you to DEI work?
I believe I have always been a part of DEI work in some capacity purely through the identities I claim. However, I had the opportunity to explore topics of racial injustice and social inequities in my undergraduate studies and find DEI work aligns my interests and my passion for working in community and collaboration.
What’s your “why” for doing DEI work?
I feel everyone deserves the opportunity for success. Working in diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, accessibility, and justice allows me to do my part in creating a more kind and just world. I am happy to be a part of creating opportunities for continued growth and learning.
What are you most excited about as you take on this position?
I am excited to see the DEI Community continue to grow. Just this year we have blossomed into a thriving, diverse, and active network to support one another in creating inclusive workplaces and communities. From the in-person social events that allow us to connect with welcoming individuals to the quarterly roundtables that continue to spread knowledge and skills throughout the Lehigh Valley, I look forward to learning and developing with our DEI community members.
