What do you like most about your job? I love working with the community and educating them on issues and resources that can be beneficial to them.

What do you find challenging about your job? Learning the vast information in a short amount of time. We do so much here at OCPA from GIS, TPP, to Real Estate & Commercial, there is an abundance of knowledge to learn!

What was your first job? I was a retail sales agent at Skechers USA.

Where were you born? I was born in Plainfield, NJ.

Where was your best vacation ever? Puerto Rico! I love the warm Caribbean waters, white sandy beaches, fun & exotic atmosphere Puerto Rico has to offer. Plus the food is to die for!

What do you plan to do when you retire? I think I will always be working on something so I rarely think about retirement. But if I were to I’d love to have a nice country house with lots of land to grow a magnifi- cent garden.
