We are honored to recognize Sonia Kissel, Social Impact Program Manager, as an Exceptional Chapter Volunteer for her remarkable dedication and leadership within the PMI Phoenix Chapter.
Since joining the Chapter in August 2024, Sonia has consistently demonstrated a passion for service and community engagement. Her initiative in organizing the St. Vincent de Paul Kitchen Prep event not only brought volunteers together but also showcased how project management skills can be applied to real-world challenges. Thanks to her coordination, the team exceeded expectations—preparing a second meal ahead of schedule due to their efficiency. Sonia also contributed her time and energy to Pat’s Run, further reinforcing her commitment to making a meaningful impact through volunteerism.
Sonia’s contributions extend beyond logistics and planning—she brings a thoughtful, inclusive approach to everything she does. Passionate about writing and public health, she believes in seeing the world through multiple perspectives and using her talents to drive change. Her proudest career moment, becoming an entrepreneur and publishing a book, reflects her creativity and determination. With a Korean name that means “bringing people together,” Sonia truly embodies the spirit of unity and collaboration that defines our Chapter. Her colleagues describe her as inclusive and collaborative, and her advocacy for causes like children’s welfare and education makes her a role model for all. Congratulations, Sonia, and thank you for inspiring us with your leadership, heart, and impact!
