How does it feel to be in this new position?

I am so excited for this amazing opportunity.

Why did you want this new position?

I grew up in Parma, spent most of my life in the John Muir area, and really and truly just wanted to come back to my childhood neighborhood, the area that helped shape and mold me into the person I've become. I have very strong connections to Parma and more specifically to the John Muir community.
