Summary
I am an extremely dedicated and hard working professional who has a passion for customer service and relationship building. As a Real Estate Agent I have the incredible opportunity to work with every facet of the Ithaca Community, including an incredible relationship with the Downtown Ithaca Alliance. With the DIA I have had the opportunity to host the Halloween dog costume contest, collaborate on many successful social media campaigns to promote local businesses, and have been asked to be a judge at this years Chili Cook Off. One of the reasons I love working with the DIA is that you all share my passion for Ithaca and for making my home town that best place possible. My experience as a Middle and High School Teacher and as the Resident Music Director of a youth theatre company demonstrates my ability to be patient, kind, and lead under pressure. I was in charge of managing 30-80 students at a time and making schedules for over 200 people. If you can manage a group of excited sixth graders, you can do anything. I have a genuine passion for event planning and coordination. I have produced concerts, theatre productions, fundraising events, and more for over a decade with great success. I was born and raised in Ithaca. I have attended numerous festivals and events in Ithaca since I was only a few months old. I would be honored to be a part of the Downtown Ithaca community.
