"As someone born and raised in Manchester, it is incredibly rewarding to give back to the local community however possible. From the community gardens to our farmers market series, to all of our other programs and special events, my work is always enriching and exciting! I am responsible for coordinating & assisting with programs, special events, and usage of the resource center. We offer a range of community-oriented services, including farmers markets, family fun nights, community gardens, the Better Manchester Magazine, and more! Fun Facts? 1) I won my car in a raffle during my senior year at MHS. 2) My favorite movies are: All That Heaven Allows, Punch-Drunk Love, and Twin Peaks: The Return."

"As the Spruce Street and Northwest Park Farmers Market Coordinator, I love connecting the community and small businesses. It is gratifying to bring healthy food options, and the ability to shop locally, to Manchester residents." Fun Facts:  1) I own seven chickens and would love to tell you about them!  2) In a previous career, I was insured to travel with one million dollars' worth of loose diamonds!
