Since before starting my practice, service to the community has been very important to me. I have served on the stewardship council at St. Joseph’s Church in Penfield, New York, the Board of Directors of the Epilepsy Foundation and the Fairport Baptist Homes Caring Ministries. I served as Chairperson of the Major Gifts Committee and as Chairperson of the Development Committee of the Epilepsy Foundation. I presently sit on the Board of Directors to the Anthony Poselovich Memorial Foundation, a memorial dedicated to helping families of young children diagnosed with cancer. I believe the power of God, in prayer and in action, can shape us to be better, stronger, more compassionate individuals; able to effect change where and when it is needed most. I think there are times in everyone’s life when we need God’s help just to survive, but there are many more times when we can use God’s power to excel. We often forget how accessible God’s help is. There have been a number of mentors who have influenced my life, but my father’s guiding hand helped me over numerous bumps in the road. He encouraged virtue and character development, and was unwavering in his support of my education.
