Parinaz Fathi of Rockville, MD

Parinaz Fathi developed VIPER, a powerful tool that can predict survival in cases of traumatic injury.

Parinaz Fathi, a Rockville native who graduated from the University of Maryland in 2015 before moving on to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to complete her Ph.D.in 2020, has been named in the 2025 Forbes 30 Under 30 List in the Science category. She now works an independent research scholar (PI) at NIH.

Fathi developed VIPER (Vital Injury Protein Evaluation for Recovery), a powerful tool that can predict survival in cases of traumatic injury. Per the University of Maryland, “As an independent research scholar at the National Institutes of Health, Fathi leads a team that creates miniature organ models to study immune-related conditions, and examines how biological nanoparticles play a role in cancer and autoimmune diseases, with the goal of eventually developing therapeutic interventions. She likes creating “technology that could improve people’s health and well-being,” Fathi told NIH earlier this year.” She also received the Rising Terp Award from the Alumni Association in 2024.

Per Forbes, “Parinaz Fathi developed “VIPER,” a powerful tool that can predict survival in patients by identifying critical biomarkers linked to traumatic injuries. Now, Fathi is building tools to understand why the immune system sometimes attacks healthy tissues or ignores cancer cells, a crucial step in developing therapies for these conditions.”

“The strength of our communities lies in their ability to embrace and support all residents, regardless of who they are or whom they love.”

November 22, 2024 – Rockville has scored 100 marks for the city’s commitment to the health, welfare, safety and equality of its lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community in its seventh year of participation in, and the 13th year for, the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index. 

Rockville scored 99 out of 100, plus an additional four bonus points, for its nondiscrimination laws, law enforcement, employment and workplace inclusivity, leadership and services to the LGBTQ+ community. Final scores cannot exceed 100. 

“[T]he strength of our communities lies in their ability to embrace and support all residents, regardless of who they are or whom they love,” stated Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. 

The 13th annual MEI scorecard, released in November, analyzes and rates 506 municipalities across the country, measuring each for the inclusivity of laws, policies and services for their LGBTQ communities. The MEI is the only nationwide assessment of municipal laws, policies and services that are inclusive of LGBTQ+ people. 

Cities rated include the 50 state capitals, the 200 largest cities in the U.S., the five largest cities or municipalities in each state, cities home to the state’s two largest public universities, 75 cities and municipalities that have high proportions of same-sex couples, and 98 cities selected by HRC and Equality Federation state groups’ members and supporters. 

Cities are rated across numerous criteria, covering citywide nondiscrimination protections, policies for municipal employees, city services, law enforcement and the city’s leadership on LGBTQ+ equality.

Posted on by Amanda Bosland

Capital Bank continues to set the standard for excellence in employee satisfaction.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Capital Bank has been named one of American Banker’s 2024 Best Banks to Work For. American Banker has partnered with Best Companies Group to identify banks that excel at creating positive and supportive workplaces for employees.

This year 90 banks earned a spot in the ranking of Best Banks to Work For, based on an anonymous employee survey and a thorough review of the benefits and perks offered. On the 2024 list, Capital Bank was ranked No. 79. This marks the fifth time Capital Bank has been recognized with this award showcasing their ongoing commitment to being a workplace where employees thrive. With over 400 employees, Capital Bank continues to set the standard for excellence in employee satisfaction.

We are a bank that genuinely cares, values and invests in our employees,” said Eric Suss, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at Capital Bank. “This commitment drives us to create programs that fuel professional growth, celebrate achievements, and foster a culture of collaboration and connection.”

Similarly, following Capital Bank’s acquisition of Integrated Financial Holdings, Inc.

Nonprofit Spotlight: Community Reach of Montgomery County

Posted on by Amanda Bosland
Sarah Basehart, Executive Director

"Achieving the extraordinary together."

What cause does Community Reach support?

Since 1967, Community Reach of Montgomery County (“Reach”) has supported underserved communities by providing safety-net services that empower them to achieve self-sufficiency. Reach strives to ensure all community members have their basic needs met and have a more equitable chance of realizing their full potential. As the needs of the community have changed over the last 57 years, we have grown to work in five service areas.

Reach provides healthcare for the uninsured through the Mansfield Kaseman Health Clinic, support for seniors aging in place in the City of Rockville, education for immigrants and tutoring for children, supportive housing for formerly unhoused men and women, and financial emergency assistance to prevent evictions and utility terminations.

What is the impact of your organization on the community?

Reach’s five service areas help clients achieve self-sufficiency, meaning that they have the stability, knowledge, and skills they need to meet their own needs. This approach includes both immediate relief for unmet needs like shelter and hunger and long-term support to improve overall quality of life for underserved communities. Our work provides tangible, direct benefits to approximately 4,000 lower-income residents each year, many of whom live and work in Rockville. Our work helps to build a more equitable, healthier, and safer community for all.

What motivated you to join your organization?

I fell in love with the rich history of Reach, beginning in response to youth issues in the late 1960s, supporting young people to speak up for change and social justice and continuing to create programs for nearly 60 years in response to the needs of the community. I also admired the interfaith origins of the organization that continues today to include people of many different backgrounds who come together to serve their neighbors in need.

Why did your organization choose to operate out of Rockville?

From its outset, Reach was a Rockville-based organization. In 1967, several local faith organizations came together to form a community ministry for the Rockville community, working to build community connections and give a voice to marginalized groups. Known as “Community Ministries of Rockville,” the organization initially focused on advocacy and youth mentorship. In the 1980s it shifted to direct services, responding to increased community need caused by nationwide cuts to human service programs. In 2019, the organization changed its name to reflect a new, wider purpose and mission to provide services throughout the county, but we are still based in Rockville.

What does your organization hope to accomplish in the future?

Reach intends to expand its presence in the community and continue to address urgent needs for healthcare, housing, education, and more among underserved populations. Currently, plans are underway to offer women’s health and diabetes focused health and wellness days at MKHC to improve healthcare access, launch two new ESL conversation classes for parents at local elementary schools and tutoring for students at the schools, provide personalized technology assistance workshops for local seniors, and more. In the long term, we hope to increase advocacy efforts to draw attention to issues that most impact the communities we work with, such as housing reform, voter awareness, support for immigrants, and general support for underserved communities.

About Community Reach of Montgomery County

Since 1967, Community Reach of Montgomery County (“Reach”) has supported underserved communities by providing safety-net services that empower them to achieve self-sufficiency. Reach strives to ensure all community members have their basic needs met and have a more equitable chance of realizing their full potential.

Business Spotlight: MasPanadas

Posted on by Amanda Bosland
Founder, Margarita Womack

"Flavor filled pockets of goodness!"

What does MasPanadas offer?

At the heart of our endeavor lies our inaugural product line: MasPanadas, where we embrace the ethos of ‘MAS’ in every aspect. There are no compromises when it comes to convenience, taste, or nutrition. From freezer to table in mere minutes, our empanadas—handheld pockets of flavor—feature impeccably sourced ingredients suitable for any kitchen. Versatile for every occasion—be it a hearty meal, a delectable appetizer, or a satisfying snack—each one is infused with the rich heritage of Latin American culinary tradition.

MasPanadas offer real food for life in the fast lane. Based on typical Hispanic street foods, MasPanadas offer the convenience and portability of fast food and the wholesomeness of a homemade meal for the whole family: a balanced bite in a pocket. This complete snack can be prepared in minutes and is ready to go with you anywhere: microwavable, no utensils needed, high in protein and fiber, and packed with veggies.

What motivated the start of the business?

It was, in a sense, an ‘accidental’ journey. As a native Colombian, I fled to the US 24 years ago when my family faced extortion by a guerrilla group. Determined to turn adversity into opportunity, I focused on my studies, earning both a PhD in science and an MBA. The true depth of separation from family and community hit me when I juggled raising two young boys, managing a newborn, and maintaining a full-time job. Desperate for support, a family friend came to our aid. To keep her with us, we embarked on a venture with a cultural twist—a modern Latin American catering company, designed not only to fulfill a business need but also to secure her visa as our chef. As our business gained traction, we discovered that empanadas were our bestsellers, uncovering a genuine opportunity in the frozen foods market.

What makes MasPanadas unique?

Authentic Latin American Flavors with a Modern Twist: MasPanadas offers traditional Latin American flavors that have been elevated with modern culinary techniques and ingredients. This blend of authenticity and innovation appeals to consumers looking for a fresh take on familiar favorites.

Focus on Nutrition and Clean Eating: MasPanadas prioritizes nutrition and clean eating by using high-quality, wholesome ingredients. Each empanada is crafted with care, ensuring that consumers can enjoy a convenient meal without sacrificing healthfulness.

Convenience without Compromise: MasPanadas delivers convenience without compromising on taste or nutrition. From freezer to table in minutes, these handheld pockets of flavor provide a quick and satisfying meal option for busy individuals and families.

Versatility for Every Occasion: Whether enjoyed as a meal, appetizer, or snack, MasPanadas are versatile enough to fit any occasion. Their portability and ease of preparation make them ideal for on-the-go consumption or entertaining guests.

Empowerment of Vulnerable Women: MasPanadas goes beyond just being a food company by actively empowering vulnerable women through employment opportunities. By hiring and supporting these individuals, MasPanadas not only enriches their lives but also contributes to the community in a meaningful way.

Why did you choose to run your business in Rockville?

Opportunity. There was a kitchen space readily available with everything we needed to continue scaling once we outgrew the incubator kitchen. 

Where do you see your business in 5 years from now?

We hope to be the go-to empanada brand across the US!!

About MasPanadas

Latin Goodness Foods keeps you going by providing a better-for-you, clean take on convenient food options inspired in Hispanic tradition. Offering delicious, authentically Latin-inspired, modern recipes from a Colombian founder with a compelling personal story and meaningful social mission. Its first brand is MasPanadas, an elevated version of a “Hot Pocket.” This complete snack or light meal is convenient yet wholesome: microwavable, no utensils needed, high in protein and fiber, and packed with veggies. They are right for the whole family, fitting just as well with a glass of wine as with a juice box.

MasPanadas is located at 14672-B Southlawn Lane, Rockville, MD 20850

Business Spotlight: Nature by Trejok

Posted on by Amanda Bosland
Founder, Dr. Kenia Garcia
"Where vintage charm meets contemporary elegance in a celebration of history, creativity, and sustainability."
What does Nature by Trejok offer?

We provide an experience where art, creativity, and meticulous curation come together. At our boutique, you’ll find uniquely designed, ready-to-wear collections of clothing, shoes, and accessories, each piece infused with contemporary flair and a hint of vintage charm. In addition, we curate one-of-a-kind vintage treasures, including elegant Chinas, collectible items, and home goods that inspire and captivate. Every item we offer tells a story and adds a touch of inspiration to your everyday life.

What motivated the start of the business?

As a physician trained abroad, I embarked on this entrepreneurial journey to fund my dream of obtaining a U.S. medical license. But my inspiration goes deeper—it stems from my grandmother, Josefa Trejo, whose legacy of elegance and sophistication profoundly shaped my vision. She spent many years in Europe, amassing collections from Limoges, Richard Ginori, and Royal Doulton, which became symbols of her refined taste. My store is a tribute to her influence, blending my childhood memories with her timeless style. Each of my designs carries the spirit of her grace, interwoven with my modern touch, creating a unique fusion of past and present.

What makes Nature by Trejok unique?

What sets us apart is the personal connection we build with our clients. Each piece in our collection of clothing, shoes, and accessories is one-of-a-kind, often customized to match the client’s lifestyle and personal preferences. In our on-site creative laboratory, customers can witness the craftsmanship firsthand, selecting their preferred materials, colors, and textures. We are a dynamic blend of creativity, originality, and artistic flair. Our clients consistently express awe, saying, “I’ve never seen anything like this,” upon entering our boutique. Whether they’re first-time visitors or loyal returning customers, they’re greeted by ever-evolving displays and innovative products, all reflecting their unique desires.

Why did you choose to run your business in Rockville?

Our journey began in Rockville in 2019 through the Maryland Women’s Business Center’s retail incubator program, MWBC Shop Local. By the end of the program, we had forged a deep connection with the local community, which inspired us to settle in Rockville Town Square. The warm embrace of Rockville’s people and the strong sense of belonging we feel here have made this the perfect home for our business. We love Rockville, and Rockville loves us back.

Where do you see your business in 5 years from now?

In five years, I envision our business expanding to two or three additional locations across the DMV area, and possibly beyond, into other states. We’re laying the groundwork for growth, with our eyes set on bringing our unique blend of creativity and craftsmanship to even more communities.

In shows we’ve participated in across other states, such as New York, we’ve left a lasting impression that has led to being invited to the prestigious New York Fashion Week on three occasions, showcasing our collection of upcycled shoes, accessories, and clothing. We’ve also been invited to participate in Paris and Milan, and we foresee ourselves gracing the runways of these fashion capitals sooner than expected, as soon as financial resources allow. We are working diligently to make this vision a reality in the near future, as we continue our journey to conquer the world of fashion.
