I was raised in Chicopee by a single mother, who worked hard to provide for our family. I am a proud product of the Chicopee public schools, attending Stefanik Elementary, Bellamy Middle, and graduated from Chicopee High School in 2007 with honors. In high school, I served as class President, President of the Art Club, Deputy Commander in JROTC, attended Girls State, and volunteered at the Holyoke Soldiers Home.
As a veteran who has worked for veterans service orgs, I know the importance of ensuring access to health care and PTSD support. I’ll secure funds to stop senior property tax increases and provide quality affordable long-term and in-home care.
