Why are you an ACT Member?
I love what ACT represents and aims to achieve! Collaboration and prevention efforts are such needed pillars for a safe, inclusive, and engaging community. I have always had a passion to advocate and support youth. Being an ACT member allows me to expand my efforts in doing just that!
What do you love most about living and/or working in Bennington?
I love the fall and summer – the sights of the mountains, lakes, and wildlife are serene and can really reset my mood! I guess I can say the winter is not so bad either – love a good day of sledding or watching the flakes fall! The sense of community is great too.
