Why do you participate in Go New Ro?
This is my fifth Go New
Ro!!! I participate in Go New Ro because I love helping to nurture young
civic leaders! During Go New Ro I love introducing our new students to
the greater New Rochelle and Iona communities!
Favorite Thing About Iona?
My wonderful colleagues who would do anything to help our
students! Iona is an amazing community in the legacy of the Christian
Brothers!
Favorite Iona Tradition?
My favorite
tradition is still Make a Difference Week. The Iona community
participates in service all year long, but Make a Difference Week really
highlights the wonderful opportunities to engage with our community, introduces
our new students to many service sites, and allows each of us to take a moment
to reflect on the our work and the reasons for it.
Favorite Thing To Do in New Rochelle?
I absolutely
love the parks in New Rochelle! I really enjoy going for a walk at Glen
Island after work. But I also enjoy Davenport Park, Five Islands Park,
Hudson Park, etc. They all have lovely views of the Long Island Sound and
are very peaceful!
