My parents instilled in me a desire for excellence that I have always carried with me throughout my career. I was blessed to grow up in a loving family in Lunenburg, Mass and continue to consider Central Massachusetts my home. I was fortunate to have a strong family unit growing up and it served me well as I joined the Mass Army National Guard. I am committed to improving the quality of life for my constituents.
As a teacher, I discovered that a student's parents have the greatest impact on how well the student performs in school. I will work with parents and school officials to close the gap of communication so every student has the tools they need to succeed in public school. I believe the parents are the best ones to manage their children's education.
