FMR Involvement: Board member since March 2022; serves on the Finance Committee

Why I serve on the FMR Board: I care deeply for the environment. I feel lucky to be able to contribute to an organization that spreads awareness and involves the community in taking care of our river. Being able to lend my financial background to help keep this organization strong is a way for me to translate my care for the environment into action. FMR is an organization that I truly believe in. The work FMR does is priceless, and I’m proud to be a part of something so intrinsically good.
