Personal news: Yesterday was my last OFFICIAL day as a paid employee at @NYCCouncil. A thread 🧵… 
I’m deeply grateful to @ChaimDeutsch for giving me the opportunity as the Citywide Veterans Director to help #veterans & their families throughout #NYC! I learned so much during my time, including city policies and how the proverbial “sausage gets made.”
I also want to thank @tovadc, @maryscarf48, @JabaranAkram, the entire 48CD staff and the @NYCCouncil Veterans Committee staff for all their support, help and guidance! I appreciate you all!
And thank you to every CM I had the pleasure of working with, especially on the @NYCCouncil #Veterans Committee. I’m honored by your work for vets over the past several years; and your support for me when I had questions or was frustrated with an issue/item and needed guidance.
I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for the work in not only holding @nycveterans accountable, but for what was accomplished. However, I’m disappointed at not getting several items, including #FairFares for #NYC’s student #veterans done. So there’s definitely more work to do!
Finally, for now, I look forward to advocating & writing once again while using what I learned during my time at the Council to continue to help #veterans & their families in #NYC. So thank you all, stay safe and have a peaceful #911Anniversary. END.
