Our Mission

I am excited and honored to serve as 2024 Chapter Chair.  As someone who has supported the NYSCC and benefited greatly from its resources and membership, I am truly proud to represent the Chapter in this capacity. I look forward to leading us on an impactful journey.

The future of the cosmetic industry is bright for 2024. With a talented and diverse membership of technical and commercial professionals, the NYSCC is uniquely positioned to drive impressionable change. Our roles as scientists, marketers, mentors, and beyond are more important than ever as we forge new paths in delivering an optimized, science-driven beauty care experience.

As the Chapter moves into its 70th year, the theme for 2024 is “Inspire. Innovate. Celebrate.”  Our foundation will be built on leveraging inspiration from all sources to influence innovation in our industry. This will be woven into our programming and will have a strong presence during NYSCC Suppliers’ Day, our flagship event and leading tradeshow for cosmetic chemistry and formulations. 2024 will be a year of celebration as we honor the Chapter’s milestone, accomplishments, and members!

We will continue to increase our empowerment and outreach efforts as we amplify the Chapter’s position as a key resource for students, professionals, and communities. Additionally, we will continue to foster collaborative relationships with external industry players to deliver greater impact.

I am following in the footsteps of past leadership that has taken this chapter to new heights. I look forward to working with current executive board members John Carola, Mythili Nori, Diane Dabkowski, Alex Blakeman and Stacey House, as well as our team of devoted committee members and partners, to accomplish my vision and continue the Chapter’s strong legacy of advancing cosmetic science and elevating the role and prominence of chemists.

I wish you a healthy and prosperous 2024 filled with many happy moments to celebrate!
