Lostritto has parlayed her interest in architecture into her professional, personal, and volunteer experiences, most recently through her engagement with the board of trustees of Friends Academy in Locust Valley, New York, an independent Quaker college-preparatory private school serving students from early childhood through 12th grade.
A former Friends Academy parent, Lostritto serves as a member of its Board of Trustees and on its Governance Committee, and helps oversee new building construction, campus maintenance, and the stewardship of existing facilities.
Lostritto is former board member of her family’s real estate company, Steel Equities, and served on the Board of Regents at NYU-Winthrop Hospital. She also assistant manages a food pantry and a Faith Formation program at St. Paul the Apostle Church in Brookville, New York, where she is a Eucharistic Minister.
In addition to serving on the School’s Advisory Board, Lostritto was appointed as a Syracuse University Trustee in May, 2024.
Lostritto received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the School of Architecture in 1990 and took a job as an architectural consultant at Avis Rent-a-Car, working on commercial architecture projects. From 1995 to 1998, she was employed in the civil engineering division at Sear-Brown—an architecture, engineering, planning, and construction services firm—where she worked on large highway and expressway projects, such as the renovation of the Queens Midtown Tunnel, as well as drainage and landscape architecture projects.
