What drew you to this position?
“Since moving to Milwaukee three years ago, I’ve seen the renaissance that the city is going through. So having the opportunity to represent the Wisconsin Center District on a regional, national and even international level is really what caught my attention. Milwaukee is buzzing; people want to know what’s going on in our city.”
What’s next for you?
“The Wisconsin Center District is looking to complete our expansion and on top of it, we’re a contender to host the Democratic National Convention in 2020. Being in my position and having the opportunity to be a part of the economic impact really excites me. The momentum that (president and chief executive officer Marty Brooks) has been able to create in the first year of his role here, to be a part of his team, is unparalleled to any other experience I would have in the city.”
