"I'm excited to return to the Philadelphia area with my husband, Ed, and sons, Mitchell (18) and Drew (15) after living in Portland, Oregon, for the past 12 years. I also bring my business, Fresh Perspective Consulting, which specializes in event, sponsorship and client engagement strategy, based on my years in sports, entertainment and non-profit marketing. I am eager to connect with the AFS family (both personally and professionally) as my family and I start our new chapter."
