As the world continues to evolve, I am excited by Dundalk Renaissance's drive to meet the needs of the growing and changing community in the greater Dundalk area. There is a great opportunity to build on a strong foundation to attract others to the community. As we live in a time where there is significant division within our country, I hope Dundalk and the greater area can continue the great work of revitalization and are seen as a example of a community of residents who are engaged and inclusive with their neighbors from all different backgrounds. I am new to Dundalk [...]

As a new Dundalk neighbor and community faith leader, I am so excited for all that Dundalk is doing to empower this community. I am particularly excited about the Dundalk Cares initiative and believe that deep conversation and relationship building at the personal and neighborhood level is truly what it takes to ripple out into a large impact on our systems and society as a whole. I am also very interested in learning more about the homeownership and financial counseling services available, I know that many members of my community in Colgate could be well served by those programs and the [...]

I am most excited about becoming a part of a team with the common goal to improve and help to propel the strengths of our community. As a female business owner and a family member with deep heritage in the area of Dundalk at large, I feel I bring commitment to success, also a diverse perspective that will enhance the vision and production of the organization. As a small business owner in Dundalk I first became involved with the DRC when I opened my brick-and-mortar. Since then we have organized, shared in education and benefitted from resources together. I have a [...]

I'm excited to help improve the community for everyone! But especially the youth, as they are the future of Dundalk! I hope to contribute anyway I can. But specifically in organizing events, cleanups and general graphic/creative work! Since having our 1st Baby, I really enjoy the all the parks in Dundalk. I'd like to see more done to renovate and update the playgrounds. In the next 5 years I'd LOVE to see improvements in Dundalk's school system. Almost 7 years ago when we were first House Hunting before we were married. Then 2 years ago we actually purchased our 1st Home [...]

The DRC has true potential to work with our elected officials and community members to make a difference in the lives of those who live in Dundalk. Dundalk is a place with beautiful nature, kind and compassionate people, and the real estate to have a thriving economy. I am excited to learn about policies that impact Dundalk, meet my fellow community members, and help keep our community clean. In 2019, I was awarded the Gemstone Award as part of the Dundalk Renaissance Milestone Awards. After that I volunteered during some of the organization's community engagement efforts. So far most of my [...]

I am the new kid on the block; however, I am very much looking forward to contributing to the overall vision of the DRC. I grew up in the community of Turner Station, so when the idea of creating a mentoring group for girls came to mind Turner Station was the first community that I wanted to support. In addition to steering IBIM Girls, I provide support to PHILANTHROPIK, a non-profit organization in Baltimore City which partners with organizations such as the Baltimore Chapter of the NAACP, The Greater Baltimore Urban League, Maryland Art Place, the Ronald McDonald House and the [...]

I first got involved with Dundalk Renaissance in 2019, after starting my new position with Blue Ocean. What excites me most is seeing how the DRC is actively engaged in solidifying the forward trajectory of Dundalk. Although I am not a resident, as a new business owner in the Historic Dundalk Town Center, I am personally and financially vested in the overall growth of Dundalk, and am committed to doing whatever I can to assist in revitalizing and strengthening the community.
