What do you bring to the role ?
I have never been the type of person that knew exactly what I wanted to be when I “ grew-up ” but knew that I always wanted to be in a position where I could help people . Now , with Value First , I am helping people ! LeadingAge members go beyond basic service in helping the aging population they serve and I feel that I bring a genuine desire to be an ally to not-for-profit , long term care , housing and services providers .
What do you do for fun ?
In my free time I enjoy being outdoors with good company . I enjoy snowboarding , hiking and spending summer days on the Great Sacandaga Lake . I also appreciate any time I can be around live music and any opportunity to try new things .
What would surprise people about you ?
I think people may be surprised to know that I minored in French in college . Unfortunately , I don ’ t have much opportunity to use by language skills in this area of the country and fear that I may have already lost much of my fluency .
What else should readers know about you ?
I have a fairly eclectic knowledge of the state because I have lived in various parts of the state . Before my family ’ s move to the Catskill Mountains , I lived briefly in Queens . I got my undergraduate degree at SUNY Cortland in Central New York and now reside in the state capital of Albany .
