Description
On this episode of Meet The People, everyone from the Office of Community Health & Safety talks about their roles with the City of Pittsburgh, each of them being the city's first-ever person in that position, and shares their favorite flavors of ice cream.
A
A
Today
we
have
something:
we've
never
done
on
the
show
before
and
instead
of
just
interviewing
one
person
or
two
people,
I
have
an
entire
office
of
people
and
once
we
go
to
the
crowd
shot,
you
will
see
all
these
smiling
happy
wonderful
people
who
make
up
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety
if
you've
been
watching
the
show
for
a
while.
You
will
say
to
yourself
well,
I've
seen
two
of
those
faces
before
and
that's
correct.
A
A
So
first
thing
I
want
to
do
is
do
a
round
robin
everybody
introduces
themselves
and
what
you're
going
to
do
is
you're
going
to
say
your
name,
your
title
and
what
is
your
favorite
flavor
of
ice
cream?
Can
everybody
handle?
That
is
that
good?
I
got
a
lot
of
nods
of
heads
okay.
So,
let's
start
with
laura:
please
introduce
yourself
your
title
and
your
favorite
flavor
of
ice
cream.
B
So
easy,
thank
you
david.
My
name
is
laura
drogowski,
I'm
the
manager
of
the
office
and
my
favorite
flavor
of
ice
cream
is
chocolate,
peanut
butter
cup
every
time,
and
we
always
call
this
popcorning
people
david.
So,
yes,.
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
J
Hi
everyone,
I'm
alexandra
bood,
I'm
the
social
work
manager
in
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety
and
my
favorite
ice
cream
is
chocolate,
peanut
butter.
Every
time,
popcorn
camila.
A
Well,
thank
you
now.
I
know
what
I'm
having
for
dinner
tonight
with
all
these
different
flavors.
So
that's
great,
just
as
a
refresher
laura.
Let's
start
with
you.
I
know
we
talked
about
this
a
number
of
months
ago.
But
what
is
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety?
How
did
it
get
started
and
what's
your
role.
B
When
I
began
working
with
the
administration
very
early
on,
I
had
a
chance,
a
privilege
to
spend
time
with
a
lot
of
our
first
responders
and
our
community
members,
all
of
whom
recognized
that
they
were
engaged
in
situations
that
they
weren't
always
well
trained
or
supported
to
address,
and
we
often
think
of
you
know
what
first
responders
are
our
tasks
with
doing
doing
and
the
the
challenges
our
community
members
are
often
facing,
and
so
fire
is
going
to
respond
to
a
fire.
B
A
landslide
help
with
lift
assists,
there's
a
number
of
things
they
do,
but
there
is
a
circumscribed
set
of
of
calls
to
which
they
respond.
Ems.
These
are
medical
emergencies
and
non-emergency,
but
medically
related
calls
and
really
the
remainder
of
the
calls
go
to
police
and
that's
a
too
large
to
try
to
qualify
or
even
quantify
that
the
numbers
of
types
of
calls.
So
we
recognize
that
we
needed
additional
responders
and
supports
in
these
calls,
and
certainly
our
company,
our
country,
I
think,
came
to
recognize
that
as
well
over
the
last
year,.
B
So
we
proposed
this
office
in
the
middle
of
last
year
and
it
was
announced
in
october.
We
began
working
in
january
with
our
first
hire
dr
roth
in
may,
and
really
have
hit
our
strides
since
with
all
of
the
amazing
colleagues
you're,
seeing
today
and
a
number
of
positions
that
we
will
be
hopefully
hiring
additional
colleagues,
our
social
work,
community,
social
work,
team,
our
public
health
program
manager,
our
continuous
sort
project
manager
and
our
overdose
prevention,
vista
member.
B
Our
the
objective
of
our
office
is
multi-fold,
I
think
the
most
important
piece
and
not
to
say
everybody's
work
isn't
important,
but
is
listening
to
the
community
and
listening
to
our
first
responders
and
not
just
listening
but
making
sure
that
our
our
community
members
are
engaged
that
this
isn't
just
a
one
and
done
kind
of
tap
in
get
the
feedback
and
never
never
build
a
relationship.
And
that's
what
you
know:
malaysia,
camilla
eric
and
everyone
else
in
the
office
really
focus
on
so
community
is
critical.
First
responder
experiences
are
critical.
B
We
know
that
they're
in
the
community
every
day
seeing
calls
all
day
and
that's
that's
important
exposure.
So
we
think
of
what
can
we
do
upstream
to
prevent
an
interaction
with
public
safety
that
could
not
be
therapeutic
or
helpful?
What
can
we
do
to
ensure
that
the
right
responder
is
always
on
scene
and
always
there
to
support
our
community
members
and
and
promote
safety?
B
So
the
people
you
see
here
and
then
and
the
team
members
will
be
adding
in
the
next
month-
are
really
gonna
round
that
opportunity
out
for
the
city,
which
is
not
something
that
we've
been
able
to
do
in
the
past,
and
we've
had
a
ton
of
support
from
the
public
safety
department,
from
the
mayoral
administration
and
and
from
first
responders
individually.
A
That's
fantastic
and
I
think,
what's
most
interesting
about
everything
that
you've
said
is
that
you
are
all
the
city's
first
ever
fill
in
the
blank,
because
the
city
has
never
had
this
before.
Is
that?
Is
that
a
correct
statement?
Let
me
just
make
sure
I'm
I'm
correct
in
saying
that
first,
okay,
I'm
seeing
a
lot
of
head
nodding,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
everybody
and
please
try
not
to
repeat
each
other,
but
what's
it
like
to
be
the
city's
first
ever
fill
in
the
blank.
I.
J
Think
it's
exciting.
There
is
a
lot
of
pressure,
maybe
to
it,
but
like
healthy
pressure
right
like
it's.
This
is
something
that's
been
needed
for
so
long,
so
you
feel
the
weight
of
that
and
you
feel
the
weight
of
a
of
our
community
that
hasn't
had
the
resource
that
it's
needed
and
hasn't
been
served
in
the
way
that
it's
needed
to
be
served.
So
it
comes
with
a
lot
of
healthy
pressure,
but
I'm
glad
it
does,
because
that's
what
keeps
us
motivated
to
get
the
work
done.
J
You
know
we
are
motivated
by
that
we
know
our
community
has
been
underserved
and
it
excites.
It
excites
me,
and
I
think
I
can
speak
for
everybody
when
I
say
it
excites
all
of
us.
I
D
And
to
piggyback
off
of
sheila,
I
think
it's
exciting
to
be
in
this
role
and
honor
to
be
in
this
role
with
so
many
smart,
passionate
people,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
this
work
has
been
done
throughout
the
city
and
elsewhere
for
a
long
time,
but
bring
those
fresh
eyes
to
some
of
the
issues
that
we've
been
dealing
with
for
a
very
long
time
is
something
that
really
gets
me
worked
up
and
excited
with.
So
that's
yeah,
that's
my
piece.
K
I
think,
adding
to
eric's
point.
I
during
my
interviews,
laura
asked
me
what
type
of
environment
I
thrived
in,
and
I
described
exactly
the
environment,
we're
in
which
is
very
collaborative
without
having
groupthink
there's
a
lot
of
individuals
who
have
different
skills,
and
although
we
have
the
same
common
goal,
there's
just
different
perspectives
of
approaching
it
and
we
just
are
very
independent
in
how
we
view
things.
But
we
keep
pushing
each
other
to
have
this
collective
common
good.
E
A
A
I
was
the
first
one
to
have
this
job
and
I
remember
on
my
first
day
I
asked
the
question:
can
I
and
then
ask
a
bunch
of
questions
like
that
and
my
boss
at
the
time
said
the
answer
is
always
going
to
be
yes,
because,
even
though
you
have
a
job
description,
you're
kind
of
writing
your
own
rules.
So
do
you
feel
that
as
well,
even
though
you
each
have
job
job
descriptions
that
you're
kind
of
making
your
own
rules
as
you
go
along
and
seeing
what
fits.
F
You
know
so
I
can
tell
you
on
my
first
day
in
this
role.
You
know
laura,
provided
me
a
list
of
you
know
my
responsibilities,
but
you
know
then
she
also
added
that
well,
like
really,
you
can
kind
of
shape
the
role
as
you
see
fit,
because
no.
G
F
Held
this
role
before
and
that's
like
kind
of
freeing
in
a
way
because
you
know
any
any,
I
guess
you
know
like
cool
idea
that
I
find
online
I'll,
send
it
to
laura
I'll,
send
it
to
the
rest
of
the
office
and
there's.
F
You
know
like
to
pursue
those
different
avenues
of
approaching
problems
and
situations,
and
everyone
is
so
supportive
of
it,
and
you
know
it's.
A
It's
always
good
to
work
in
a
have
have
a
work
environment
where
you
feel
not
only
connected
but
like,
but
that
your
voice
is
valued.
I
feel
like
that
makes
a
much
better
work
environment,
especially
with
what's
happened
the
last
year
and
a
half
it
it
helps
make
what
could
be
a
really,
not
great
work
environment.
A
lot
better
is,
would
you
am
I
putting
words
in
your
mouth
or
is
that
something
you
agree
with?
No.
F
I
mean
I
fully
yeah.
I
fully
agree
with
what
you're
saying
I
think
you
know.
I
think
that
you
know,
while
people
have
thought
about
you
know
a
lot
of
these
issues.
Pittsburgh
hasn't
directly
focused
on
them
as
much
as
we
are
now
so
that
takes
you
know.
Looking
at
what
different
cities
do
that
takes,
you
know,
speaking
with
different
cities,
with
different
service
providers
and
other
partners
to
bring
in
a
holistic
set
of
knowledge.
F
You
know
to
actually
trying
to
solve
these
problems,
you
know
and,
and
they
won't
be
solved
in
a
day
they're.
You
know
they're
systemic
really,
but
you
know
having
having
the
opportunity
and
the
freedom
to
pursue
those
creative
solutions
is,
is
a
it's
a
good
feeling.
It
really
is.
A
C
C
Yeah,
it's
a
fantastic
resource
in
order
to
get
connected
with
all
different
kinds
of
resources
like
housing
or
legal
services,
or
access
to
food
banks.
Right
now,
I'm
working
on
compiling
a
list
of
free
thanksgiving
meals
available
to
the
public
and
from
there.
I
want
to
find
more
resources
to
include
on
it
and
spread
awareness
of
big
burg,
so
more
people
can
use
it
and
then
get
access
to
the
resources
that
they
need.
A
H
My
role
is
to
basically
help
out
in
the
community
social
work
and
with
the
high
utilizers
under
dr
sheila
roth,
and
I
also
every
once
in
a
while,
we'll
help
out
alexandra
in
her
domestic
violence
piece
and
basically,
I
just
go
out
and
get
the
referrals
from
sheila
and
the
first
responders
and
go
out
and
make
appointments
with
the
clients
and
the
individuals
who
need
help.
H
So
in
whatever
that
case
may
be,
I
see
them
in
their
homes
in
their
situations
and
sometimes
I'll
see
things
that
they
haven't
even
thought
about,
that
they
need,
and
we
just
basically,
I
just
basically
follow
them
into
that
process
and
help
them
and
call
the
resources
and
connect
the
dots
for
them.
A
That's
great
and
you're
enjoying
your
time
here,
alina
and
daniel
you're,
both
enjoying
your
time
so
far.
Definitely.
A
You
don't
have
to
brown
those
because
laura's
sitting
here,
it's
okay,
just
you
and
me
don't
nobody
else
is
listening.
I
promise
so
I
want
to
move
on
josh.
You
originally
started
with
the
city
working
in
the
mayor's
office.
If
I
remember
correctly
talk
about
what
your
role
was
in
the
mayor's
office
and
what
your
role
is
now
and
how
are
they
different,
how
are
they
the
same.
G
Yeah
thanks
for
that
question,
so
I
started
also
as
an
americorps
vista.
Just
like
lena
did
or
is
right
now,
and
I
was
doing
an
overdose
prevention
which
is
very
similar
to
what
I'm
doing
now
under
laura
when
she
was
the
critical
communities
manager
in
the
mayor's
office.
So
when
I
first
came
in,
I
was
using
a
lot
of
my
background
and
experience
as
a
paramedic
and
also
studying
emergency
medicine
as
an
undergrad
to
begin
by
getting
a
better
handle
on
the
scope
of
the
opioid
overdose
crisis
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
G
We
have
pretty
good
data
resources
from
the
county,
but
it
wasn't
really
sufficient
to
have
real-time
public
health
intervention.
So
I
wanted
to
build
out
a
dashboard
that
showed
near
real-time
opioid
overdose
data
from
pittsburgh.
Ems
to
allow
us
to
have
targeted
public
health
interventions,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
time.
G
Americorps
vista,
among
other
things,
was
spent
to
build
up
that
dashboard
to
create
a
data
surveillance
system
and
then
gain
a
lot
of
insights
from
that
data
and
then
work
to
build
the
framework
for
program
program
implementation
that
I
would
then
pursue
when
I
entered
my
new
role
as
the
overdose
prevention
coordinator
in
this
office.
So
that
isn't.
That
has
informed
a
lot
of
the
work
that
I'm
doing
now
and
I
can
give
a
few
examples
of
that's
helpful.
G
G
Sure
sure
so
one
example
right
off
the
bat
is
when
we
created
this
public
facing
dashboard,
which
you
can
find
on
our
website
a
little
plug
there.
We
saw
that
at
least
65
of
patients
did
not
have
any
data
collected
in
them
about
their
race
or
ethnicity.
G
Now
this
was
just
a
field
that
wasn't
mandatory
in
the
ems
charts
reporting
process,
and
we
knew
that
to
have
that
information
would
allow
us
to
look
through
all
these
calls
through
the
lens
of
racial
equity.
That
could
inform
a
lot
of
the
programs
that
we're
doing
and
make
sure
that
everything
we
do
is
equitable.
G
So
we
worked
with
people
in
pittsburgh.
Ems
to
make
sure
that
this
was
a
mandatory
feel.
That
was
one
insight.
Another
was
the
fact
that
only
on
all
overdose
calls
only
narcan
was
given
only
three
percent
of
the
time
by
police,
despite
police
being
on
scene
for
a
vast
number
of
these
calls.
So
we
are
working
right
now
and
we
have
gotten
them
just
in
the
mail,
the
past
couple
weeks
to
get
narcan
holsters
for
our
police
officers
so
that
they
have
arcane
on
them
at
all
times.
G
Leaving
this
big
access
gap
of
30
percent
of
patients
who
didn't
connect
didn't
get
connected
with
any
resources
after
they
experienced
an
overdose.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
even
if
they
decide
not
to
go
to
the
hospital,
which
is
a
honorable
decision
to
make,
we
could
still
provide
them
with
resources,
even
if
they
made
that
decision.
So
that's
just
a
little
window
into
some
of
the
work
that
I've
been
doing.
G
B
And
david,
if
I
can
just
add
josh,
also
was
very
instrumental
in
the
city's
fentanyl
test
trip,
decriminalization
executive
order,
and
that
came
from
some.
You
know
other
public
safety
data
that
indicated
that
people
who
you
know
many
people
who
use
opioids
are
aware
that
there's
a
risk
that
there's
fentanyl
either
contaminating
or
cut
into
the
supply.
B
But
people
who
don't
expect
to
have
an
opioid
and
maybe
never
do
utilize
oak
use
opioids
have
had,
I
think,
there's
a
bug
in
my
office
which
suits
me.
They
don't
expect
to
have
an
opioid
in
their
supply
and
it
puts
them
at
very,
very
high
risk
not
only
of
overdose
but
a
fatal
fatal
overdose,
which
obviously
is
something
that
is
never
acceptable
and
should
never
happen.
So
josh
worked
with
the
mayor's
office
to
move
that
legislation
for
that
executive
order
forward,
which
was
the
second
in
the
state.
H
A
Eric
the
last
time
I
saw
you,
you
were
working
in
the
office
of
community
affairs
and
you're
now
in
the
office
of
community
health
and
safety,
but
it
seems
as
though
you're
doing
some
of
the
same
work.
Can
you
do
same
thing
same
kind
of
question,
as
I
posed
to
josh.
Can
you
talk
about
similarities,
contrast
and
compare
the
two
offices
and
what
you're
doing
now.
D
Sure
yeah,
so
I
worked
in
the
office
of
community
affairs
before
for
last
two
and
a
half
years
going
on
three
and
some
of
that
work
was
in
community
engagement
being
in
going
to
community
meetings
throughout
the
month
that
they
held
every
month.
So
these
are
usually
registered
community
groups
that
are
registered
with
the
city.
They
go
through
their
whole
process.
In
addition
to
that,
they
run
different
programs
like
snow
angels.
It's
like
this
point.
Sometimes
this
might
be
a
household
name
at
this
point
in
pittsburgh
and
elsewhere,
city
cuts.
D
Another
program
we
have
that
gives
those
those
services
are
for
seniors,
snow
removal
for
snow
angels
and
city
cuts
is
for
giving
free,
seniors
lawn
care
service
handle
the
intake
run
the
program
from
start
to
finish.
As
far
as
snow
angel
is
concerned
and
love
your
block
and
other
programs
that
we
had
in
the
city.
Every
block
is
something
that
we
give
1500
grand
to
community
members
in
order
to
do
beautification
projects
throughout
their
neighborhoods.
D
That
program's
been
running
for
several
years
now,
and
it's
still
running
this
year
so
and
then
the
biggest
thing
of
all
was
sketch
station
issues,
so
I
will
handle
calls
that
came
in
regularly
every
day
through
email,
facebook,
next
door,
you
name
it
any
community
communication
channel
that
we
had.
We
responded
to
those
folks
and
try
to
handle
whatever
issues
that
came
up
and
that
involves.
Maybe
the
road
knee
paved
knees
paved
or
there's
a
tree
in
the
middle
of
the
road.
We
would
connect
the
dots
and
make
sure
those
issues.
D
A
lot
of
the
issues
will
go
through
the
311,
the
mayor's
hotline
for
constituent
issues,
but
a
lot
of
those
issues
that
came
to
us
were
needed
to
be
escalated
or
a
little
bit
more
complicated
so
and
that
we
kind
of
troubleshoot
those
and
trying
to
give
solutions
working
with
the
chief,
then
chief
gilman
and
others
to
make
sure
that
that
was
possible.
So
now,
currently
in
this
new
role,
which
I'm
super
excited
about,
I'm
super
excited
to
work
with
these
people
that
are
on
this.
D
This
video
right
now,
but
I
will
be
doing
community
engagement,
which
that
is
a
way
way
less
work
and
I'm
able
to
I'm
able
to
like
really
focus
on
building
those
relationships
in
the
community
that
I
already
did
have
in
the
beginning,
while
working
with
the
mayor's
office
in
community
affairs,
but
in
office
of
community
health
and
safety,
I'm
able
to
fine-tune
those
relationships
and
kind
of
focus
on
the
health
and
safety
of
the
community
so
that
that
works
gonna
mostly
involve
going
to
community
meetings
like
you
did
in
the
past,
but
that's
also
going
to
involve
collecting
data
about
the
specific
concerns
about
safety,
and
it
may
not
involve
the
pavement
or
the
the
tree
that
fell
down
on
storm,
but
embarra.
D
Well,
be
that
way
as
well.
We're
all
trying
to
build
trust
in
the
community.
So
getting
creative
about
that,
and
there
there
is
the
the
reality
is
that
we've
been
kind
of
touching
base
with
the
same
people
over
time
throughout
the
community
so
and
the
whole
idea
of
meeting
people
where
they
are
there's
folks
that
are
not
engaged
with
the
city
have
a
distress
in
the
city.
So
we're
trying
to
build
that
that
trust
and
build
those
relationships
stronger
with
those,
the
youth
and
other
folks
that
don't
usually
engage
with
so.
A
As
you
mentioned,
you're,
probably
interacting
with
some
of
the
same
people
or
groups
of
people,
so
I
imagine
from
their
perspective
it's
nice
to
have
a
familiar
face
and
or
voice
doing
this
job
now
than
before.
Is
that
a
correct
assumption.
D
No,
that's
that's
definitely
right
on.
I
mean
people
that
I've
connected
to
already
have
already
been
reaching
out
to
me
continuously.
So
I
continue
to
do
that
same
work
that
I've
done
in
the
past
and
I'm
excited
to
do
that
work.
I
I
want
to
do
this
work,
so
that's
why
I'm
here,
but
definitely
building
on
those
relationships,
and
hopefully
they
connect
me
to
new
people
that
you
know
want
to
get
involved
now
right
things
changed
their
whole
time.
A
That's
great:
let's
move
over
to
my
absolute
best
friend
in
the
whole
world
alex
you
last
time
we
talked
you
were
in
public
safety
and
you
talked
about
the
challenges
of
doing
you
were
one
person
doing
the
job
of
about
75
or
76
people?
I
can't
remember
the
number
exactly
now
that
you've
moved
over
ochs
what
has
changed
or
what
has
stayed
the
same
in
in
your
roles.
J
G
J
Chose
somebody
new
opposite
of
eric.
I
feel
like
it's
way
more
work
it.
No,
it's
been
great.
So
essentially
we
took
the
work
that
I
was
already
doing
and
I
brought
it
here
with
me
to
ochs,
so
it
the
victim's
assistance
work
has
been
integrated
into
one
of
our
buckets
or
our
areas
of
service
and
the
continuum
of
support
program.
J
So
it's
been
kind
of
integrated
into
our
post-engagement
area,
so
I
still
do
the
victim
service
work.
For
now.
I
work
very
closely
with
dr
sheila
roth,
on
kind
of
creating
and
implementing
this
continuum
of
support
program,
and
then
we
are
currently
recruiting
and
hiring
six
social
workers.
J
A
A
So
the
reason
I
asked
those
questions
of
those
particular
people
is,
I
wanted
to
move
towards
those
who
are
fairly
new
to
the
city
working
for
the
city
and
so
malaysia.
You've,
you've
heard
all
these
people
talk
about
the
jobs
they
had
the
jobs
they
have
now.
So
what's
it
like
to
sit
at
your
desk
and
not
know
something
about
the
city
and
be
able
to
just
say,
does
anybody
know
how
much
does
that
help
you
in
your
job.
E
It's
wonderful,
like
I
said
able
to
use
them
as
a
resource
to
navigate
and
just
able
to
connect
to
with
somebody
who's
already
been
in
the
community
as
soon
as
eric.
That's
always
like
great
he's,
like
almost
a
mentor
to
me,
because
I'm
like
all
right,
I
don't
know
something
I
knew
I
could
rely
on
eric
and
everybody
else.
Of
course,.
A
Camilla
same
question:
what's
it
like
to
obviously
you
know
your
stuff
you're
doing
your
your
job,
but
navigating
city
hall?
What's
that
what's
your
background
and
how
did
it
prepare
you
to
work
for
municipal
government.
K
So
yeah
I'm
definitely
very
new
to
the
city
dynamics.
I
didn't
intern
here
or
have
any
experience
I
actually
am
from
a
whole
other
country,
so
I
have
worked
in
government
agencies
as
a
consultant
for
guatemala
and
have
collaborated
with
some
agencies
within
the
us
more
of
proposing
projects
with
international
aid.
So
I
knew
the
politics
in
general
of
how
certain
things,
especially
when
you're
dealing
with
different
departments
and
different
government
agencies.
K
However,
coming
into
the
city,
I
really
didn't,
know
the
dynamics,
and
it's
been
great
to
have
people
like
eric
and
josh,
laura
and
alex,
who
have
been
with
the
city
for
a
long
time
to
kind
of
help
me
nag,
navigate
and
not
put
my
foot
in
my
mouth
and
understand
the
politics
even
within
the
organization.
K
I
think
I
also
asked
that
question
during
my
interview.
What
is
the
political
culture
within
the
city,
but
coming
from
a
non-profit
and
omg
background,
I
really
had
a
stereotype
of
me
dealing
with
government
agencies
of
the
bureaucracy
and
how
hard
it
is
to
get
things
approved,
or
certain
projects
that
seem
a
little
bit
more
innovative
or
progressive
are
always
shut
down
because
it's
very
status
quo,
and
that
has
been
completely
the
opposite.
K
So
it's
been
so
refreshing
to
see
how
much
trust
in
my
skill
set
and
experience
from
within
the
city
and
how
much
everyone
is
just
trying
to
really
evolve
and
adapt
after
covid
after
last
summer.
After
all,
these
important
moments
in
our
present
history
so
yeah
it's
great
to
have
them
as
resources,
and
you
know
it's.
Pittsburgh
is
a
hard
city
to
navigate
if
you're,
not
from
pittsburgh.
You
kind
of
feel
like
you're,
always
an
outsider.
K
So
now
that
I'm
like
working
in
the
city,
I
feel
like
people
embrace
me
more
and
I'm
understanding,
like
all
the
dynamics
of
the
city
aside
from
the
steelers,
because
that
I
get
it
at
home
and
it's
already
annoying.
A
Well
I'll
tell
you
two
things:
first,
I've
been
here
almost
nine
years
and
I
continue
to
put
my
foot
in
my
mouth,
so
my
staff
will
tell
you
that
right
away
how
awful
I
am
at
that
number
two,
I'm
not
from
pittsburgh
either,
but
I'm
not
from
another
country.
So
I
can
imagine
that's
a
whole
other
culture
shock
as
well
all
right
so
sheila.
Let's
talk
about
your
background
for
a
little
bit,
I
understand
you're,
a
you
have
an
md
behind
your
name.
Is
that
correct.
I
So
actually,
my
phd
is
in
education,
higher
education
and
my
master's
degree
is
in
social
work.
So
I'm
a
licensed
clinical
social
worker,
and
I
knew
I
wanted
to
be
a
professor.
I
thought,
which
I
am
so
I'm
I'm
the
director
of
the
masters
of
social
work
program
at
carlow
university.
A
I
So
I
have
two
jobs:
I'm
doing
that
currently,
but
I'm
doing
this
job
in
a
part-time
basis.
When
laura
talked
to
me
about
this
office
about
a
year
before
I
took
the
position
she
described
what
it
was-
and
I
was
so
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
really
dive
in
and
make
a
change.
And
so
I
think
this
role
is
perfect
for
me
because
at
carlow
they
encourage
us
to
be
scholar,
practitioners
and,
as
a
as
a
professor,
I
want
my
students
to
know
that.
I
I'm
not
just
standing
up
here
telling
you
theory.
I
want
to
be
able
to
get
my
hands
dirty
and
actually
do
the
work,
and
so
this
is
this
is
such
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
be
that
scholar
practitioner
that
I'm
actually
able
to
make
changes,
hopefully
in
the
community
and
people's
lives,
I'm
actually
able
to
work
with
first
responders,
which
I
have
done
for
the
past
30
years
and
more
of
a
therapeutic
role.
But
it's
it's
the
it's
sort
of
the
the
culmination
of
my
two
favorite
worlds:
social
work
and
working
with
first
responders.
A
A
So
everyone
will
tell
everyone
who's
met.
Me
will
tell
you,
because
I
won't
shut
up
about
it.
My
wife's,
a
college
professor
and
I
watch
her
and
her
full-timeish
job
super
full-time
job.
I
don't
envision
her
having
another
job.
I
can't
imagine
you
must
be
awesome
at
time.
Management.
I
It's
it's
very,
it's
challenging
I.
I
will
not
lie
to
you
and
I've
actually
had
this
conversation
with
laura,
but
you
know
the
good
news
is
that
I
have
dana
to
keep
me
sane.
I
I
I
am
finding
you
know,
I'm
finding
ways
to
to
make
it
work
right
now.
I
don't
know
that
it
will
work
forever.
I
I'm
gonna
have
to
decide
which
you
know
which
direction
I
need
to
go
so
that
you
know
I
can
be
sane,
but
it
was
just-
and
I
did
talk
to
my
bosses
at
carlow
about
this
before
I
took
the
job.
So
they
know
I'm
doing
this
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
they're
very
excited
about
me
doing
this,
because
this
work
that
we're
doing
truly
speaks
to
our
mission
there.
I
So
yeah
it
works.
I'm
happy
and
I'll
tell
you
I
I
can't
imagine
doing
this
without
the
people
that
you
see
on
this
screen.
You
know
you
know
poor
malaysia
she's,
like
I
don't
even
work
in
the
continuum
of
support
program,
but
I'm
like
malaysia.
I
I
need
I
need
to
know
something
about
the
housing
authority,
so
I
mean
just
just
a
world
of
it's
a
world
of
fun
for
me
truthfully
to
work
with
the
individuals
here
and
to
be
able
to
share
these
experiences
as
well
in
the
classroom
with
my
students
so
that
they
know
that
you
know
what
really
happens
as
a
social
worker.
A
I
You
know
what,
if
I
she
is
so
wonderful.
She
she's,
like
I
got
this
case
she's
like
she's,
picking
up
cases
she's
going
out
with
our
you
know
our
liaison
from
the
first
responder
end
and
she's
she's
my
right
arm.
I
A
Great
dana,
I'm
not
hiring,
but
I'd
love
to
have
you
come
work
over
here,
but
but
I'm
sure
laura
and
I
have
to
get
into
a
cage
match
and
duke
it
out
for
that,
so
alina
and
dana
as
you've
been
listening.
Oh
I'm
sorry!
Brennan!
I
missed
you!
I'm
I
completely!
I'm
sorry
about
that!
Brennan!
Let's
talk
about
your
role
and
learning
from
the
people
that
have
been
working
in
in
the
city
for
a
while.
F
Yeah,
you
know
so
in
my
role,
I
like
to
think
that
I
wear
many
hats.
You
know
there's
quite
a
few
things
that
that
I
do
so.
You
know
I
work
a
lot.
You
know
with
procurement,
you
know
the
procurement
office
and
omb.
I
work
with
our
omb
analyst,
sherry
quite
frequently.
F
You
know
I
apply
to
you,
know
grants
you
know
specifically
with
josh.
We
just
applied
to
one.
You
know
deal
with
tracking
those
and
I'm
also
involved
in
the
hiring
process,
and
you
know
getting
professional
services
contracts.
F
You
know
through
through
the
city
which
you
know
takes
takes
some
time,
but
you
know
it's.
It's
been
a
really
good
experience
for
me.
So
far,
I've
I've
learned
so
much.
You
know
from
all
my
colleagues
who
worked
in
the
city
prior
and
you
know
if
I
didn't
have
them
as
resources.
I
would
not
be
able
to
do
anything
in
this
job
frankl
frankly
so
they've
been,
you
know,
extremely
helpful.
You
know
with
everything
that
I
have
to
do
so
far.
A
Have
you
been
following
city
council
meetings
in
the
legislative
process.
F
Yeah
yeah
so
so
last
summer
I
actually
interned
in
the
mayor's
office,
and
you
know
shout
out
to
ernest
and
kirsch
in
the
mayor's.
F
Throughout
that
process
they
taught
me
a
lot
about.
You
know:
legislation,
city,
council,
specifically,
so
that's
been,
you
know,
really
helpful
and
just
you
know,
learning
how
the
you
know:
process
works
in
general
because
it's
kind
of
hard
to
find
things
online
about
how
city
council
works
and
how
legislation
works
in
general.
So
you
know
I've
been
relying
on
the
people
that
I've
met
through
my
time
at
the
city
for
for
assistance,
and
you
know,
thankfully,
I've
been
I've
been
learning.
You
know
as
I
go
along.
A
I'd
I'd
like
to
think
that,
despite
my
decades
of
tv
experience
that
the
tv
portion
of
my
job
is
is
very
small,
whereas
the
psychology
and
legislative
knowledge
takes
up
a
bulk
of
that
I
never
real.
So
I
want
to
make
two
points.
The
first
is
a
couple
of
you
talked
about.
A
I
believe
it
was
camilla
who
talked
about
how
political
politics
are.
I
never
realized
how
political
politics
were.
I
just
never
thought
of
that
before
I
started
working
for
the
city
and
the
other
point
is
I
come
from
a
background
where,
if
something
breaks
and
I
need
to
buy
a
new
one-
I
just
buy
it-
I
didn't
realize
there
was
a
three
to
maybe
six-week
process
of
getting
that
thing
replaced
and
it's
not
for
the
it's
just
a
matter
of
everybody
making
sure
that
we're
spending
money
appropriately
for
the
taxpayers.
A
So
I
completely
agree
with
you
brennan
about
that
process.
I
do
want
to
talk
to
elena
and
dana
again,
so
here
you
are
helping
out
the
office
as
as
you
can
do,
you
feel,
like
your
jobs.
Are
wide
open
like
if
you
woke
up
one
morning
and
decided,
I
want
to
work
on
this
new
project
that
you
can
or
is
there
are
there
limits
to
what
you
can
work
on
and
that's
to
both
of
you?
I.
C
Think
it's
interesting
because
I
have
like
my
main
project,
which
is
big
bird,
the
web
app.
But
I
know
from
just
working
here
just
just
over
a
week
that
if
I
wanted
to
go
out,
can
you
hear
me.
C
But
I
know
that
I
have
the
big
brig
project
and
I
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
do
pretty
much
whatever
I
want,
and
I
can
explore
different
avenues
that
intersect
with
my
interests
and
if
I
wanted
to
do
anything
I
know
like
I'd,
have
full
support.
If
I,
if
I
wanted
it.
H
I
have
feel
that
I,
if
I
do,
have
a
passion
for
something
I
can
do
whatever
that
I
have
a
passion
for.
My
passion,
though,
is
really
just
to
work
with
people
with
who
experience
trauma.
Direct
practice
is
literally
my
passion.
I've
been
doing
it
for
the
bachelor's
level
for
the
past
four
years
I
have
been,
you
know,
have
my
own
trauma
in
my
life,
so
I
have
experienced
both
sides
of
it.
H
So
I'm
really,
you
know
geared
to
help
people
in
social
work
so
but
they've
been
laura
and
sheila,
and
everyone
in
office
been
really
encouraging
to
really
explore
different
avenues.
If
I
wanted
to,
but
I'm
really
in
my
passion
project
now,
just
working
here.
A
That's
fantastic,
laura,
that's
a
all
the
things
that
you've
just
heard
and
I'm
not
trying
to
make
you
blush
or
make
you
smile
and
start
to
cry
or
anything
like
that.
But
all
of
this
is
a
testament
to
you
and
the
workplace.
A
Environment
that
you've
created
as
the
first
ever
and
making
this
office
the
first
ever.
How
does
it
make
you
feel
to
hear
all
these
people
say
all
these
great
things
about
the
office
that
or
the
positions
that
they're
working
in
right
now.
B
So
I
know
it's
a
great
privilege
to
get
to
do
this
work,
but
what's
the
only
way
we
can
is
to
have
people
who
are
so
excellent,
all
on
the
screen
and
many
other
excellent
people
out
in
the
field
doing
work
and
community
members
who
get
to
work
with
as
well
and.
B
B
A
That's
fantastic
all
right,
so
this
is
part
of
the
show,
alex
and
lauren
know
all
about
this.
Where
I'm
gonna
ask
you
a
bunch
of
I'm
gonna,
ask
you
each
one
question
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
your
job
and
alex
and
laura.
I
promise
not
to
repeat
what
I
asked
you
in
the
past,
so
I'm
going
to
go
in
the
order
of
people
that
are
on
my
screen,
so
alina
my
question
to
you
is:
can
you
recite
the
alphabet
backwards
and,
if
not,
why
not.
C
A
F
That's
good
honestly,
probably
arthur.
I
watched
it
about
every
day
and
you
know
sometimes
it's
been
if
I'm
in,
like
a
bad
mood
or
whatever
I'll
I'll
go
on
youtube
and
throw
on
a
a
short
episode
of
arthur.
So
I.
A
Malaysia,
what
is
your
favorite
view
of
the
city
and
it's
not?
The
west
end
overlook.
A
E
A
Okay,
if
anybody
knows
anybody,
let
me
know
give
me
a
call:
oh
alex
you're,
the
next
one
on
my
screen.
What
is
your
go-to
karaoke
song.
A
Okay,
I
will
make
sure
I
know
that
the
next
time
we're
f
together
on
a
karaoke
bar,
which
has
happened
so
many
times
in
the
time
we've
known
each
other
dana
on
your
sandwich.
A
A
Just
make
sure
that
if
you
have
fries
on
your
sandwich,
it's
nowhere
near
alex.
Okay,
it's
good
to
know
sheila
your
favorite
incline.
Is
it
the
mon
or
do
or
do
cane.
I
I
I
think
that
you
know
you're,
gonna,
you're
gonna,
think
I'm
a
horrible
person
which
is
the
one
that
is
the
most
central
that
you
look
down
over
station
square.
A
Oh,
that's,
that's
the
mod
come.
A
As
as
I
tell
everybody
I
like
to
do
cane
only
because
it
has
a
parking
lot
right
there,
which,
with
a
10
year
old,
is
a
very
important
aspect
to
it.
A
Okay,
you're
right
across
the
street,
you
can't
miss
it
who's
next
josh.
What
is
the
best
coveted
mask?
You
have
either
seen
or
worn.
G
Oh
so
I
remember
back
in
the
beginning,
the
pandemic-
and
I
didn't
see
it
in
these
in
person,
but
I
saw
them
online
where
people
were
improvising,
coped
masks
and
you
saw
pictures
of
people
in
grocery
stores,
with
like
a
party
hat
over
their
face
or
like
a
a
gallon
jug
cut
in
half
to
fast
fashion
around
their
face.
So
I
have
to
say
some
of
those,
although
I
saw
a
lot
of
creative
halloween
masks.
A
That's
good,
I
I
know
david.
G
G
Mask
you
can
you
can
go
haunt
the
bowels
of
the
of
the
soldiers
and
sailors
where
it
was
filmed.
A
Well,
just
so,
you
know,
last
week
the
soldiers
and
sailors
held
a
viewing
of
sounds
of
the
lambs
and
had
the
cage
up
in
the
big
room
where
that
scene
was
filmed.
It
was
amazing.
A
I
see
I've
seen
that
movie
125
000
times,
and
I
still
love
it.
It
was,
I
said
to
my
wife:
it's
the
first
time
I
have
ever
watched
a
movie
in
a
location
where
the
movie
was
shot.
It
was
kind
of
interesting
camilla.
A
A
Okay,
that's
fair
wow!
That's
amazing
eric!
D
Last
binge
watch
that's
been
watched,
oh.
D
A
All
right
I'll
put
her
on
the
list.
Well,
those
are
all
the
questions
I
have.
I
know
I've
taken
up
way
too
much
of
all
your
time.
Does
anybody
have
any
last
words
of
wisdom,
anything
they
want
to
share
about
themselves
or
the
office
before
I
let
all
of
you
go.
B
We
want
to
hear
from
everyone
too
so
I'll
just
add
a
plug.
Our
email
