Please provide a few sentences answering the following questions: How do you want to impact Pittsburgh?
I want to help Pittsburgh live up to its greatest potential by building trust, sparking collaboration, and making sure equity isn’t just a buzzword. Policy and advocacy are powerful tools for inclusion and representation. As a nonprofit leader (and PSL volleyball setter on the side), I’m always looking for ways to bring people together—across neighborhoods, sectors, and backgrounds—to solve real problems. My goal? A more connected, empowered, and equitable Pittsburgh and SWPA region—for all of us.
What is your favorite part of Pittsburgh?
What I love most about Pittsburgh is how you can play pick-up frisbee at Schenley, join a virtual town hall with local government, attend a community planning meeting, and sit in on a funder briefing from global philanthropists—all in the same day let alone week. Connection doesn’t just happen in big rooms; it starts on courts, in coffee shops, and across dinner tables. This city thrives on real people showing up in real ways. Pittsburghers care deeply and act boldly. That mix of grit, generosity, and everyday leadership is what makes this place so special—and why I’m proud to live, play, and advocate here.
