Proudest Professional Accomplishment: “Being able to be a part of the elevator development and installment of the Grove Street Path Station where my mother so frequently caught the train and had difficulty taking the stairs for years. I remember when she found out the station was finally getting an elevator, and she called me and said, ‘You're already working your magic over there and you're just getting started.’”
