A single internship can open doors you never expected. For Hannah Blackwell, saying yes to that first opportunity sparked a career rooted in purpose, growth, and impact.

Hannah began her journey at Heart as a Marketing and Communications intern, completing two internships with a focus on learning, supporting the team, and soaking up everything she could. Over time, those early experiences turned into greater ownership, leadership, and the chance to lead key pieces of work. Seeing how her contributions directly support the mission has made her professional and personal growth meaningful.

Drawn in by the American Heart Association’s powerful mission, Hannah found more than a job. She found people who invest in her growth, a purpose that fuels her work, and opportunities to keep moving forward, including earning her MBA utilizing our tuition assistance.

The moments that stay with Hannah most are when the mission comes to life through community engagement, events, and lifesaving CPR education. With encouragement from colleagues who continue to support her and help her shine, Hannah has grown into her current role as Marketing Communications Director.

Her story is a reminder that when passion meets opportunity, careers can truly take shape. If you’re ready to grow while making a difference, explore at http://spr.ly/6187hPN1L. ❤️

When Jessica Meadows faced the loss of a direct manager, her understanding of what it means to show up at work shifted. She came to see that small moments of empathy, curiosity, collaboration, and kindness often make the biggest difference—not just in the workday, but in colleagues’ lives.

This mindset led her to humbly receive the association-wide Operational Excellence Award, which recognizes an employee in an operational role whose performance consistently elevates and accelerates our organization. Reflecting on the honor, Jessica shares, “Personally, it’s a reminder of how fortunate I am to work in a role where I feel challenged, supported, and inspired. Professionally, it reflects the collective effort of the teams I partner with and the shared commitment we bring to advancing our mission.”

Now, after more than 19 years at Heart, Jessica remains motivated by the opportunity to contribute to meaningful work. “What keeps me here are the opportunities to make an impact, the spirit of innovation, and the incredible teams who make this work feel both purposeful and energizing.”

Thank you, Jessica, for your leadership and for showing us how you embrace life at Heart, with heart. ❤️

When employees experience support and belonging, they create extraordinary impact.

At the 2023 Leadership Summit in Anaheim, Heart & Soul members came together to present a check to a local organization supporting students in need. What started as a simple call to give inspired an overwhelming response, with members investing in youth from the surrounding community. Their energy reflected something bigger than a donation; it reflected shared purpose.

“That moment captured the true spirit of Heart & Soul: collective action, compassion, and the power of coming together to make a real difference,” said Chris Lewis, reflecting on a standout moment from the group.

Heart & Soul is our Employee Resource Group (ERG) dedicated to promoting the career growth and retention of staff of African and Caribbean descent while advancing health for all through dialogue, mentorship, professional development, and community outreach.

For Chris, who has spent 19 years at Heart, joining Heart & Soul at its inception was about connection, but it also became a catalyst for growth. Leading initiatives and creating space for meaningful conversations strengthened his leadership skills and broadened his perspective.

Today, as President, Chris helps ensure Heart & Soul continues to build a sense of belonging while driving impact both within and beyond our walls.

When LaSonia Landry received the North Star Employee Award, she didn’t think about titles or tenure—she thought about home.

Growing up in a small town in Mississippi, she was raised on simple but powerful lessons: “be a good human, treat everyone with respect, and take pride in what you do.” Those values still guide how she shows up every day at the American Heart Association.

The North Star Award is given annually to the colleague who exemplifies strong character and interpersonal excellence. For LaSonia, that recognition hits deeper than any metric could.

“When recognition centers on character, it hits a little deeper,” she shared.

LaSonia joined Heart 11 years ago after heart disease directly impacted her family. She’s stayed because the work isn’t finished, and because she wants her kids to see what it looks like to show up for something bigger than yourself.

Along the way, her leadership has been shaped by defining moments: learning to lead from afar during the pandemic, and watching a team member grow from an early-career professional into a leader who now inspires others. Both reinforced the same truth.

“Great leadership isn’t about proximity; it’s about presence. It’s about showing up in hard times and helping others rise in theirs.” 💫

This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating a couple whose shared belief in giving back led them to the American Heart Association. ❤️

Alyssa Roman, Senior Development Director in New York City, was drawn to the American Heart Association by a lifelong connection to mission-driven work. Inspired by her grandmother, who previously raised funds for Heart and still proudly owns her Red Dress Pin, Alyssa saw her own family’s experiences with heart disease reflected in a mission that touches nearly every household.

Through Alyssa’s work, her husband, Kevin Roman, gained a front-row view of life at Heart. After volunteering at the Wall Street Run & Heart Walk and seeing the passion of the volunteers and teams, Kevin felt called to join the mission himself. He now serves as Development Manager for the New Jersey Heart Walks, carrying forward a commitment shaped by family history and a shared desire to make a difference together.

Today, Alyssa and Kevin support one another across teams, events, and markets, leaning on their shared understanding of the work and its impact. Their “why” is rooted in family, service, and a belief that the work they do together truly matters.
