Tell us a little about yourself:
I've lived in Wilton 80 percent of my life. I moved here with my family when I was in sixth grade. My parents are retired and still live here. They vacation a lot. I started working for the Wilton Family Y two years ago. I used to be a member here, and at one point they asked me to join the staff.

What do you enjoy most about working at the ?
A lot of the staff puts their heart into the work they do. There is a lot of work that people don't see. The swim lessons and camps are run very well here. The staff tries to make things fun for everybody; it's a place where a kid can be a kid. We have summer camp, lego camp and gymnastics camp.
How long have you lived in Wilton?
I've been here for fifteen years.
What keeps you here?
My family still lives here and I like the laid back atmosphere. Everyone is moving to the city and I couldn't live there. I wouldn't live there if you paid me to go.
What is your best memory in Wilton?
I would have to say graduating Wilton High School. I was in my gown which my father had to convince me to wear. I walked with my friend William and when we got to the ceremony we were making jokes and having a good time.
What is your favorite aspect of Wilton?
The slowness of the area. You can go out for a walk in Wilton and not have to worry. It's a nice area. It's the kind of area where you keep the doors unlocked.
