My Greatest Accomplishment

I am the youngest woman to serve as mayor in New Jersey state history. It has been a distinct honor to serve my community, and to serve as a role model to other young women.

How Drexel Helped

Working in a co-op position during college taught me that you don’t gain credibility through milestones (like graduations or birthdays); you gain credibility by doing a great job. That experience, coupled with a fast-paced learning environment that forced me to keep organized and focused, gave me a headstart that I wouldn’t have gotten through a more traditional college program.

Where I’ll Be In Five Years

I’ll be working as hard as ever for the residents of Moorestown, while continuing to nurture my private-sector career.
