Tucker Murphy, executive director of the New Canaan Chamber of Commerce, said “it’s obviously nice to see a location that has been shortly vacant taken up by a local resident, somebody that has been involved in town, very involved in the chamber and who has actually come to us now on several occasions looking for ways to partner and get involved, when she was managing.”“She knows that you get better results by working as a team,” Murphy said. “She is not one to shy away from trying new initiatives and she is very creative.”
