With an unwavering commitment to her community, she tirelessly collaborates with numerous organizations to foster positive change and uplift lives. At the core of her every venture lie her impeccable integrity and steadfast work ethic.

Beyond her altruistic endeavors, Corree wears the entrepreneurial hat as the co-founder of QuantumRhino, a forward-thinking IT consulting firm.
