Summary of Talk
Anna was born in Poland and is a traffic safety educator for the Traffic Safety Program at the Westchester County Department of Public Works and Transportation. The program promotes safe behavior while driving, walking and biking. She has been conducting traffic safety programs and passionately promoting driving behavior needed to save lives. She believes that we need to admit that accidents don’t just happen, they are caused by one driver, another committing an unsafe act. She presents safety presentations to Rotary Clubs. Anna holds Master's degrees in English and in Psychology. Before she committed herself to traffic safety, she was a college level teacher, both in her native Poland and in the Unites States. She relies on 5 am runs to keep her life balanced. For answers and questions you can email her at axw3@westchestergov.com.
