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 mom, I know the importance of social-emotional health, youth jobs, and a curriculum that centers civics, the arts, phys ed, STEM and financial literacy for our kids. I’ll work to upgrade school buildings and ensure they are safe and healthy.
