A little about me...

She is the executive director of the Holt Brothers Foundation, which supports children who have a parent with cancer, and Vice President of Marketing at Holt Brothers Inc. She also co-founded Innovate Raleigh, a catalyst for innovation and entrepreneurship in our region.

A little about my job...
The day to day job of the mayor can vary. The main function of the mayor's office is to create policy while the management of the city comes down to the role of the city manager, Adams-David Marchell.
