Career highlights: Making some tough career decisions that have landed me in the right spot.
Community involvement: I am currently treasurer of the Worcester East Side Community Development Corp. and vice president of AIDS Project Worcester.

Non-relative you admire most: My St. Anne’s School basketball coaches, who taught me at a young age that talent doesn’t always win, but that dedication, focus and the ability to move outside of one’s comfort zone will ensure success.
Favorite book: “The Glass Castle,” by Jeannette Walls
Hidden talents: Gardening is my passion. Those outside of my professional life are often shocked when they see me in work attire and not covered in dirt.
