In the past year, what project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?
I was a part of the team that worked on the new Irondequoit Community Center, my responsibilities on that project were selecting and specifying all the furniture for the community spaces and staff offices. I am really proud of how the project turned out, how everyone on the project worked through a pandemic to deliver a really impactful project to the Irondequoit community.

I have been a volunteer for many years in different capacities for my children’s sport teams and school activities.
