How do you want to impact Pittsburgh?

I first came to Pittsburgh for school at Duquesne University and have called this city my home ever since. Pittsburgh has an approachable, authentic quality to it that I fell in love with. My professional career has been in public service to the City since I graduated, and I want to leave an impact of positive initiatives that foster community for those who live here, and put Pittsburgh on display to those who might want to visit or decide to live here.

What is your favorite part of Pittsburgh?

My favorite part of Pittsburgh is Point State Park in Downtown. The combination of the historical legacy and importance of that location, the visual beauty of the natural geography, and the wonderfully maintained public space that today serves as the ‘front yard’ of the City make it a space that cannot be replicated anywhere else. The Point became an even more special place for me, personally, when I proposed to my fiancée there in 2024.
