Biggest break:
“My biggest break was moving to Milford in the eighth grade from State College, P.A., when my mom got a job with Bayhealth in Dover. It removed me from the State College bubble where I undoubtedly would have ended up going to Penn State with full potential of never leaving the town. Once in Delaware, I was exposed to a whole new world with more opportunities, one of which was Immaculata University, where I completed my undergrad degree in 2008. It’s the reason I am the volunteer and leader I am today.”
Two words that best describe you:
Passionate and dedicated.
Work/life balance technique you recommend:
“Find something you absolutely love to do, both in a paying gig and a volunteer gig, and it will never feel like work. I think I’ve found the key to a well-lived life.”
Your advice for the next generation:
“Give back. To your community, your church, your favorite non-profit – wherever you’re most comfortable and happy. If you can’t afford to, give your time. It pays dividends you will never be able to afford.
In one sentence, define success:
“Can I say, see work/life balance answer above? Honestly, these days, I feel beyond successful in this job because I am completely happy.”
