One thing you don’t like?
Cilantro, because it tastes like soap.
What do you do outside of work to have fun or relax?
I love spending time on my deck, listening to baseball on the radio (ok, Amazon device), cooking and beating my son at video games (for now).
What do you do at NeighborWorks Western Pennsylvania?
I manage the counseling, education, community engagement, compliance and lending teams and coordinate our current and future projects for the organization.
What is the one thing you wish first time homebuyers knew?
20% down is a myth. You don't need that kind of cash to purchase a house. There are so many programs to help first-time homebuyers.
