The thing I love most about United Way is the opportunity to be involved with the community on a broader level that does not only touch one area or one group of people. As a newer member it has also been eye opening to learn about the many programs and organizations available to the community – I am excited to be a part of making those programs more widely known and more accessible.
FUN FACT: My favorite animal is a cow – I used to show them at the Erie County Fair.

Strong communities provide opportunities for education, health, and overall well-being of their residents. The United Way fosters relationships between volunteers, grantors, and service providers to build up communities for the benefit of all individuals. I’m proud to be a part of an organization that does so much to help so many.
