“I've worked for several key employers in the Greater Boston area. I play violin in the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. Last spring, I seriously considered a move to California. One of the primary reasons I decided to stay was the UMass Boston Emerging Leaders Program. The ELP is a real community, populated with wonderful, talented, interesting, diverse people. The ELP has strengthened and broadened my ties to Boston, and that's why I'm here today.”
