What is your proudest professional accomplishment?

My proudest professional accomplishment is currently leading the community that raised me during an unprecedented pandemic. We disbursed nearly $200 million in financial assistance to businesses and residents. We gave out 400,000 boxes of groceries through our Stand Up & Deliver program, all while continuing to deliver on our key priorities, which included the groundbreaking of our new mental health facility, breaking ground on nine new schools and making significant investments to preserve/expand affordable housing. I’m blessed to have so many place their trust in me to lead our community.

What do you do for fun and why?

One thing Prince Georgians know about me is that their county executive loves to dance! I especially love a good line dance with our sassy seniors; it truly brings me so much joy to just be able to dance and have fun.
