My ultimate vision is that Philadelphia is a city where it is healthy to be pregnant, give birth, and raise a family no matter your race, ethnicity, neighborhood, sexuality, ability, socioeconomic status, or country of origin.
Three words to describe me:
energetic, inquisitive, strategic
The best part of my job:
working with an amazingly dedicated, multi-disciplinary team
Something that would surprise others about me:
I am a total bookworm and read several books per month.
