I was educated through the New Rochelle public school system and made long-lasting friendships here. I attended Daniel Webster Magnet School, Albert Leonard Middle School and New Rochelle High School.
After graduating high school in 2004, I went on to attend Fordham University, majoring in urban studies and minoring in business administration, graduating with my B.A. in 2008. I then worked in New Rochelle and interned in midtown Manhattan, having graduated at the brink of the Recession. I also pursued a freelance writing career, which was and still is a passion of mine.
In 2011, I went on to work for The Estée Cos. in human resources, working on the brands Clinique, Origins, Ojon, Darphin, Aveda and Lab Series for almost four years. When I felt that it was time for a change, I began looking for other opportunities, and it was this role as community liaison that truly spoke to me as the role that I wanted to fulfill for the next phase of my life.
I believe in New Rochelle. I always have. Although I have visited many places, I have never lived anywhere else, and I choose to call this place home. New Rochelle is a place where I would like to someday raise my children so that I can show them what I remember as a child, as those memories will remain with me always.
I believe in the people of New Rochelle and their determination to make New Rochelle an even better place to live. I believe in the city of New Rochelle because it will rise to the top.
New Rochelle deserves a chance to be greater, to do more, to see more, and to reach its full potential. I believe it can, and with the help of the community, I believe it will. It is not going to be easy, but it is going to be so incredibly worth it.
