This position seems to have a very high turnover rate..
Last call! It’s been an incredible two years. October marked my last month in the Mayor’s Office and I’m grateful to Mayor Bowser for giving me the opportunity to serve as the District’s Nightlife and Cultural Director, supporting our hospitality sector—the sector that makes this city a great place to live and visit. I’m proud of positioning the office as a responsive entry point for the industry and residents to interact with government.
The role deepened my understanding and love for D.C. in ways I couldn’t have imagined two years ago. It’s also given me a newfound appreciation for a solid pair of earplugs 😅
I’m also thankful to the D.C. Council for their confirmation of my appointment, as well as for the friendship, partnership, and support of many of the members and their staff.
Most of all, I’m grateful for the new friends I’ve made in government and the community along the way. There are too many to name, so I won’t even try for fear of leaving someone out. Working in and with government can be challenging, but know that there are incredible people who care deeply about this city and their communities and who work every day to make things better, both inside and outside of government. I will always cheer them on as a proud D.C. resident. I’m confident that our city’s best days are ahead.
As for me, I’m excited about what’s next. But for now, for the sake of all those wonderful D.C. government employees and us as D.C. residents—please go vote. Call your friends and family in other states and remind them to vote. 🗳️
As I close out this chapter, I can’t say thank you enough, so I’ll simply say it again: thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone.
