Personal Statement:
I am looking forward to continuing my work with the CUAA and The Cooper Union in finding our path back to FREE.

Since 2013, I have actively served on the CUAA’s Events Committee, serving as Co­Chair in 2014-­15, and first elected VP of Alumni Activities in the Spring of 2015. I have been re-elected VP Alumni Activities on each of the following years.

I have participated in many events brought to our alumni and students by the CUAA, including the CUAA’s Annual Holiday Parties, CUAA@AllSouls, CUAA@McSorley’s, CUAA@190 Broadway, CUAA@Orientation/Peter Cooper Movie Night 2015, Fall Holiday Dinners, Holiday Parties, and the wonderfully successful Founder’s Day 2014 & 2015/Peter Cooper Block Party.

“I have endeavored to remember that the object of life is to do good.”~Peter Cooper. These are words I choose to live by, and why I continue to be an active member of the CUAA. It is worth it–this struggle to preserve The Cooper Union, for future generations.
