Campaign Statement

It would be an honor to serve on the CUAA council and give back to an institution that gives so much to so many. I am excited to bring my decades of experience and connections in the design industry, as well as my analytical thinking from my years as an attorney, to help bring Cooper Union back to its purpose of providing a free education for all.
