What was your biggest break?

My current role was created after some departmental restructuring when my boss took her position. My previous work experiences in retail pharmacy and the fact I was finishing my MBA at the time culminated to create a “right place, right time” scenario.

As we continue to grow, we must be mindful of what we want our identity to be as a community, and ensure we are capturing the collective voice of all our neighbors to reflect our shared vision.
