VoWW Interview #8 - LeeAnn Glozman
Overview
"Voices of West Windsor" is a joint project between the Historical Society and SR Mosaic to fill in the gaps in our records of our town's history. We interview contemporary inhabitants of groups not typically found in our archives so that future residents can get a perspective decades later - much like how our perspectives of old West Windsor were obtained through interviews of longtime residents in the past.
No one can doubt that COVID-19 is historic. In West Windsor, several initiatives have popped up to confront it and support the community. This week, Voices of West Windsor sits down with LeeAnn Glozman, a Nurse Practitioner and one of the founders of the Mercer Mask Project.

Talking Points:
(On the response of West Windsor and surrounding communities)
"Though the people are relaxed in mask wearing, people are trying to be fit for Covid. However, the residents of West Windsor and surrounding towns including Princeton are very mindful of the situation and are not laxing in their precautions towards the virus."
(On the responses of her fellow nurses, doctors, support staff, and administration to the pandemic)
"We had just started with making one mask for myself. We had no idea that we would end up making masks all over NJ and even supply to needy in NYC. It was a great and humbling experience. I did what I am trained to do – protect myself, protect my family and protect my community. I am glad that people joined in and the project just started growing... Though the need for the masks has reduced now, there is definitely a need for organization that can spearhead a cause for community in times like this."
