About Mandes Stoner

What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others"- Nelson MandelaThe quote above by the amazing Mandela epitomizes my goals and core values in life: finding ways to help and support others. I am grateful to God that I get opportunities to work with people from all backgrounds and play a positive role in their respective journey. As a project manager, I work with stakeholders to identify pain points, develop a plan, and collaborate to come up with solutions. My favorite part of this line of work is the excitement from the client once the project launches and it meets their goals. I want nothing more than to aid a team, and help showcase the talents they can provide.Outside of work, I enjoy identifying ways to serve the community. Currently I am a Board Member at Ecumenical Hunger Program in East Palo Alto, and truly appreciate the incredible work this organization provides to the underserved. In addition, I also mentor students at Spark Program, as we are helping minority students find their passion through Career Exploration exercises.Whether it be in the confines of work, or in the community, I want to help others. I want to support, and I want to lend a helping hand where I can. I look forward to connecting with you. Thanks for reading :).
