Why did you become a YLC member?I wanted to give back to the community while engaging with other young professionals who share the same beliefs I have.

What has been your favorite YLC memory so far? My favorite memory so far was participating in the clean-up of the Woonasquatucket River.

What/who has inspired you? My grandfather continues to be my inspiration. He is always willing to lend a helping hand and always with a smile.
  
How do you see yourself working with UWRI to improve our community? I enjoy volunteering with United Way to achieve its goals. I feel that I am very flexible in my abilities and am willing to do just about anything that is asked of me. 

Favorite quotes:  “You are always on parade.”  General George S. Patton
“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in that grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”  Theodore Roosevelt
