Explore Rochester

Working in state government has been the most fun and eye-opening experience of my life. I’ve traveled to so many corners of the county and state, meet amazing people, and am always learning something new. In my role as a Communications Director, I write speeches, plan events, and meet with people, agencies, organizations. I also help to raise awareness about NYS programs and policies that help to support families, businesses, neighborhoods and more.

Government works best when people participate. Especially at the local and state level because this is where people have the most impact. Your participation is how we learn what people need and want and I am so honored to have the opportunity to serve the public through my work. This week we hosted a press conference at , which has been supporting Rochester’s Northeast neighborhoods since 1901 and is preparing for the next 100+ years so they can continue being a foundation for Rochester families. It;s about working for and with the people, helping to bolster those safety nets and opportunities that lift people up. // 6/8

One of my favorite things about living in Rochester is the history that is literally found in every nook and cranny. These beautiful old buildings and homes are our shared history and are portals to

There is nothing more exciting than walking into a building or home, and randomly happening upon an original (working) 1930s toilet or the most ornate, original grates. I especially love doorknobs. These chrome beauties were spotted in a 1920’s arts and craft house on Seneca Parkway in Maplewood which had the most incredible, fully restored and operational original bathroom. A true and utter dream. // 4/8
