What captured your interest about your new role ? I ’ m looking forward to being able to help our members save money on their products and / or services when there is a possibility to do so .
What do you think you bring to the table ? I am very good at communicating with people and explaining things in a way that is understandable . I feel like this will be helpful to me in my new role since I will be calling a lot of members or facilities whether it be to ask a few questions or inform them about services that we offer that could potentially be beneficial to them .
Tell us a little about your background and experience ? I graduated from Siena College in the spring of 2016 with a Bachelor ’ s Degree in Psychology . While I was a student at Siena , I also worked part-time as a pharmacy associate for Rite Aid for three years . I learned a lot about how to interact with people , explain necessary details and provide feedback / information on anything that the customer / patient may have been unsure about .
What is one thing about you that would surprise people ? One thing about me that would surprise people is that I can do backflips !

What captured your interest about your new role ? My interest was piqued when I learned more in-depth knowledge of the Quality Apex software . I could see that it was something the industry needed and I really wanted to be in on the ground floor promoting it .
What do you think you bring to the table ? I bring a fine-tuned set of skills in making connections . I look forward to learning more about the software and spreading its good news to the masses !
Tell us a little about your background and experience ? After more than 20 years in graphic design , I started getting more and more projects for marketing and sales roles . The transition was quite natural , as design , marketing and sales so easily go hand in hand . This eventually led to selling engineering software which I enjoyed very much right up until the company was purchased . I am very excited to embark on this business development and sales role with LeadingAge New York . To be on the software development stage is highly beneficial and I am looking forward to a long and successful career here .
What is one thing about you that would surprise people ? Most people are very surprised when I tell them that I play flag football . For six years I have participated in a fundraiser to benefit the families in the capitol district who have been stricken with Alzheimer ’ s . The Blondes vs . Brunettes flag football team has raised more than $ 80,000 this year alone . We fundraise throughout the year with various events , then practice from June until the big game in September . It is a high-spirited group of ladies who have all been affected by Alzheimer ’ s in some way .
