Where do you live?
Caledonia, NY
What brought you to LivCo?
We loved the walkable neighborhoods and quaint stores in Caledonia. I wanted a better education for our children, which we found in Livingston County. After working in marketing and communications for over 20 years, I realized that I loved the business side of things and I wanted to use my skills to support local businesses at Grow LivCo. I’ve lived in Livingston County for over 10 years and I love helping people.
What do you primarily work on in the office?
I love turning complex information into clear practical strategies for rural communities. I help build strong partnerships with local businesses and I support Bill and Maureen in the office.
Favorite LivCo Spot:
There are so many to choose from! One of my favorite spots is Palmiter’s Garden Nursery in Avon. I also love Silverback Games and Collectibles in Leicester.
Favorite LivCo Meal:
I love the Cozy Kitchen and the Angry Rooster in Caledonia, as well as the Caledonia Marketplace. Peppermint’s in Avon ranks up there, too.
Favorite LivCo Event:
I love summer, especially around the Fourth of July. The Ring of Fire at Conesus Lake has to be my all time favorite.
How do you invest in LivCo?
With experience spanning public relations, storytelling, research, and community engagement, I help organizations and small business owners in our county communicate with clarity, confidence and purpose. I also love shopping in Livingston County.
