Tell us about what you do with the County: I work on the websites, branding, marketing, and social media for Livingston County Economic Development (Grow LivCo) and Livingston County Tourism (Visit LivCo). I also love jumping in on new projects whenever they come up!

What part of your job motivates you the most/makes you happiest? It’s rewarding to help local businesses reach new customers, introduce new people to Livingston County and all the region has to offer, and assist in new projects that enhance our communities (like LivCo Walls!).

Any notable professional accomplishments you'd like to share? In recent years, Livingston County Tourism has launched seasonal travel guides to help visitors and locals connect with the region. Be sure to check them out at visitlivco.com.

Favorite sports team, if any? Go Bills!

Favorite hobby? Reading, especially thrillers and biographies.

If you had to bring one movie, one book, and one album to a desert island, which ones would you pick? My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Bossypants by Tina Fey, 1989 by Taylor Swift. 

Best place in the County to relax? Walking through the SUNY Geneseo campus at sunset. 

What’s something unique about you people would never guess just by looking at you? I once did a triathlon.
