Some people go to work to do their job. Others turn their work into a platform for something bigger. For Meyvis Nuñez, what started as a professional opportunity became a deeply personal mission — one that connects her career, her values and her passion for giving back.

A journey that sparked something more

Meyvis Nuñez, Accounting Advisor based in Panama, joined Dell after spending time living in Canada, seeking a new challenge and a fresh perspective. Dell became her first experience in a multinational company — one that immediately stood out for its global impact, inclusive culture and strong commitment to social responsibility. But what began as a professional step forward quickly transformed into something much deeper. Alongside her career growth, she discovered a passion that would redefine her journey: leading community impact initiatives and contributing to something far greater than herself.

Leading with heart: The power of volunteerism

As the driving force behind Dell Panama’s volunteer strategy, Meyvis finds her greatest reward not in metrics, but in moments. Seeing team members come together to create meaningful activities for the community is what fuels her. Even more powerful are the reactions from NGO partners — the smiles, the heartfelt “thank yous” and the visible impact of every effort. For her, those moments are not just rewarding. They are priceless reminders of why this work truly matters.  

A culture that enables impact

What makes this level of engagement possible? According to Meyvis’s journey, it starts with trust. Even though volunteer leadership is not part of her formal role, Dell’s culture empowers her to take initiative, lead site-level programs and contribute to the True Ability Panama chapter. This environment — where passion is recognized and supported — has allowed her to strengthen her leadership skills while driving strong participation and meaningful community impact.

Driven by passion and purpose

Meyvis’s focus on youth education and mental health reflects her desire to maintain a meaningful balance between her professional life, her family and the causes she cares most about. Supporting these programs allows her to align her personal values with her volunteer work, creating a sense of purpose that extends far beyond the workplace.

Giving back to communities that reflect her story

Her connection to organizations like Junior Achievement and Glasswing is deeply personal. Having grown up in a lower-middle-class community, and now as a mother, Meyvis understands the challenges of accessing quality education and opportunities. That is what makes these partnerships so meaningful — they empower young people from backgrounds similar to hers, providing them with the tools, knowledge and hope to build a better future.

The moments that stay forever

Among all her experiences, it is the stories of resilience that leave the deepest mark. Moments where a single opportunity changes someone’s path, or when support arrives just when it is needed most, serve as powerful reminders of the impact of community work. For Meyvis, these moments go beyond volunteering — they represent connection, empathy and the simple but powerful act of making someone feel seen and supported.

Start small, create big impact

Her message to others who want to make a difference is simple: start small. Whether it’s joining an Employee Resource Group, participating in one activity, or volunteering locally, every action matters. What begins as a small step can quickly grow into something much bigger — driven by passion and purpose.

The power of listening

One thing that might surprise people about Meyvis is her love for listening. She values taking the time to hear others — their stories, challenges and moments of joy. Even when solutions are not immediate, she believes that simply being heard can make a meaningful difference. This empathy and curiosity also fuel her ongoing desire to learn and grow.

Inspired by purpose-driven leadership

If given the chance to spend a day with a changemaker, Meyvis would choose Deonte Thompson — someone she admires for integrating technical expertise with impactful volunteer work. His approach to combining innovation and purpose reflects the same philosophy that guides her journey today.
