Meet Inez

The journey of self-discovery begins within and calls for action. In the summer of 2020, I founded a small networking community in my backyard, embracing female entrepreneurs, community leaders, and women seeking a network built on trust. This initiative grew into the CORE Women’s Network, a space dedicated to empowering women to embrace their strengths while fostering a supportive environment where we can connect, collaborate, and thrive.

While I was a single mother, I pursued a degree in Broadcast Journalism and Mass Communications from New York University. During this time, I learned to overcome self-doubt and explored the corporate world before realizing it didn’t align with my true calling. Following my marriage, I earned a Master’s in Education from Rowan University, specializing in Elementary Education, Child Psychology, and Special Education. This marked a transformative journey toward self-discovery and fulfillment.

As a lifelong learner, I completed Cornell University’s Women in Leadership certificate program. I leveraged my diverse educational background to evolve both personally and professionally. With over a decade of experience in event planning for various non-profit organizations and expertise in Emotional Intelligence, I honed my ability to create meaningful gatherings that cultivate genuine relationships among women and men alike.

Additionally, I serve as a celebrity correspondent for Millennium Magazine, a lifestyle and entertainment publication where I share personal stories and triumphs with high-profile individuals. I’m also proud to be a mentor with Apogee Strong, driven by my passion for the well-being of future generations.

I am reside between New Jersey and Florida with my husband Lou and blessed to be the mother of two amazing sons.
