The most rewarding part of my job is working with smart, committed, mission-driven people to drive growth to every corner of Philadelphia. Our work is often complicated and finding creative ways to solve problems and assist clients is sometimes challenging and fun. I love being one of the many people who helps make the city a better place to live, work, and play; and I am grateful that I have spent the last 15 years working at PIDC.

Being at PIDC for over a decade, it has been phenomenal to see how the organization has extended its reach to ensure the needs of the communities that we serve are being addressed. I enjoy walking through any neighborhood in Philadelphia and seeing the impact that our organization has had on businesses and people of all types. Our real estate development at the Lower Schuylkill, Bartram’s Garden, and The Navy Yard have been amazing to watch develop into majestic areas of the City. Lastly, I love how we have grown to connect with our clients through our business support services and all the incredible resources that have been tailor made. My life has been transformed by the people that comprise PIDC — our staff, board, and clients. I’ve experienced some of the brightest, compassionate, and passionate minds at PIDC, who make an incredible difference in our corner of the world. I feel very blessed to be a part of this ever-growing, transforming, and connected community!

“The most rewarding part of my job has been the opportunity to work with business owners who span the width of industries, revenue sizes, and personalities and are willing to stretch themselves to unforeseen grow in unforeseen ways. My guiding principle has been realizing every business owner needs not just financial support, but emotional support which may come in unexpected ways – business education, an advisor/business coach, peer, or in our case, the lender. My job is to be an effective listener and foster trust that allows us to gently guide our clients to identify challenges and successfully overcome obstacles.”

I love the many challenges that the Navy Yard throws our way every day! Just when you think you’ve got everything moving in the right direction, another curveball comes flying your way. It’s really inspiring to see the creativity, flexibility, and commitment to finding solutions that’s a hallmark of our Navy Yard team, our colleagues across PIDC, and our partners at the City. Having the opportunity to work with such capable, dedicated, and fun colleagues every day is definitely the most rewarding part of my job!

Serving Philadelphia’s small business community at PIDC has been a dream come true. I get to learn about our clients’ life stories which, in turn, help me advocate for their projects. Their professional and personal backgrounds all weave beautifully into our underwriting and analysis of their financing request. Although many people think of small business finance being all about the numbers, what I love about PIDC’s approach is the strong relationships, educational approach, and level of trust that is encouraged to help someone get over the finish line for accessing capital for their business. There is no greater satisfaction than being able to serve as a steppingstone for our clients as they achieve their lifelong goals!
