I am beyond honored to share that I have been selected as a 2026 Pittsburgh's 50 Finest Honoree with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Western Pennsylvania Chapter. 💙💛
 

As a Pittsburgh girl born in the city and raised just outside of it, this recognition means more to me than I can fully put into words. Pittsburgh is who I am. Its grit, heart, resilience, and unwavering sense of community have shaped me both personally and professionally. To represent the city I love while supporting a cause that changes lives is something I will never take for granted.

This honor is about so much more than an award or a title. It's an opportunity to give back to the community that has given me so much.
 

Over the next several months, I will be fundraising and raising awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, with a personal goal of raising $5,000 to help advance their mission: finding a cure for cystic fibrosis and ensuring that every person living with CF has the opportunity to live a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.
 

For those who may not know, cystic fibrosis is a progressive genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. Thanks to groundbreaking research and care supported by the Foundation, tremendous progress has been made, but there is still important work ahead. Too many individuals and families continue to face the daily challenges of this disease, and together, we can help change that.

Pittsburgh has shaped who I am, and I believe in giving back to the city I love. Joining Pittsburgh's 50 Finest allows me to support the incredible work of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation while bringing our community together for a cause that truly changes lives, not just in Pittsburgh, but around the world.
 

I am incredibly proud to stand alongside 49 other outstanding honorees as we work toward a future where cystic fibrosis no longer limits lives.

If you're able, I would be deeply grateful for your support. Every donation, every share, and every conversation helps move us one step closer to a cure.
 

Let's do something meaningful together. Let's make a difference. 🫶🏻
