How do you define success?: Making a difference.
What volunteer experience has impacted you the most?: I received a plaque with a picture of Stephen Siller as recognition for my help with the 5K. I was very touched and grateful, but I felt so unworthy. It is a constant reminder of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and those who continue to sacrifice for this country. We can never forget.
What is a tip for success that you would provide someone in your same industry?: Being passionate about a cause is not enough. You need a plan and must have boots on the ground.
What is the most enjoyable part of what you do?: Giving back.
