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.
We are facing a statewide housing crisis. I’ll fight for more affordable homeownership and rental assistance programs. We need to improve Chicopee’s air quality to combat asthma rates, and protect our open spaces so our kids have a place to play.
