I’m truly honored and excited to join the City of Miami and the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust as the new Executive Director. I want to express my sincere gratitude for the warm welcome and support I’ve received thus far.

I am committed to listening to your voices, identifying the community’s needs, and working tirelessly to maintain the history of Historic Virginia Key Beach Park and seize the opportunities before us.

I look forward to meeting and collaborating with each of you, sharing ideas, and forging a path forward that reflects our collective aspirations. Together, we can achieve great things, and I’m excited to be a part of this journey.

Thank you for your trust, and let’s make our community thrive.
