What is your favorite Lower Merion/Narberth memory?
I’m from New Jersey, but when I was a kid my mom worked in Bala Cynwyd. I used to love traveling to have lunch with her and my grandmother on City Ave.
How long have you lived in Lower Merion/Narberth? In which community?
I’ve lived in Philadelphia for over 10 years, but I’m hoping to make the switch to Ardmore!
Why do you want to serve on the staff of the Society?
I was inspired to work at the Society because of the level of passion and interest the community has in local history. Over the last year with the Society, I’ve been able to grow as a public historian thanks to the board, the community, and the members.
