Born and raised in Baltimore. If I'm not at an Orioles, Ravens, or Wizards game, I'm probably at home cheering for them. I truly believe opportunity is all anyone needs to succeed - just like Kennedy services did for me. As a Project Manager, I enjoy giving the people of Maryland an opportunity to grow as an employee and a person.
