For me, the Western New York Prosperity winter session was an opportunity for growth, exploration and thinking. From panels on inclusive real estate designs, to touring the manufacturing floor of Audubon Machinery, it was truly eye-opening to see how much Buffalo has grown over the past ten years. As a Buffalonian, I am proud to live in a city that accepts and invests in its residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

A jam packed week of asking \u201cWhat\u2019s Next?\u201d for our city made me raise another question for Western New York, and that\u2019s, \u201cWho Next?\u201d I believe prosperity fellows like me are fully equipped to be the leaders Western New York needs to someday make this region just as competitive as New York city.<\/p>\n

As a business and public health graduate student, I recognize that it\u2019s important to make a health care agency, hospital, or non-profit sustainable, as well as making sure the patient or community member you are serving is receiving the best treatment or service to improve their overall health.<\/p>\n

I plan to use the information from January\u2019s winter session to make a profitable and sustainable business.\u00a0In another five years, I see Buffalo at the forefront of technology, services, and social movements. I am proud to be a Western New York Prosperity Fellow, contributing to the revitalization and growth of Buffalo and beyond.<\/p>\n
