“I’m excited to work in such a vibrant city,” said Lucy. “The pride Philadelphians feel for their home is evident and I can’t wait to start telling the stories of this historic and diverse community.”

As a teenager, Lucy spent time volunteering in the region. “In high school, I spent weeks visiting a local convent in Radnor Township, Delaware County which served as a nursing home for the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It was part of my school’s service mission and one of the best high school memories. Philadelphia won my heart early.”
