Profile

Rosanna’s professional background includes over 20 years of business management experience in the restaurant, retail and service industries.

She has held positions in human resources, employee management, sales and marketing, customer service and fiscal management. This vast experience has given her the invaluable knowledge and insight needed to help grow and transform the City’s course and administration.

As president and co-founder of the East Woodbridge Community Association, together with her sound management experience, Rosanna has developed a strong understanding of the processes at all levels of government.
